On August 20, Bitcoin changed hands at around 46,950 (+6%) and still dominates the cryptoasset market with 43.8%. BTC, the largest digital currency in the world, has a market cap of $881,549,376,084. However, at the beginning of the week, MC was only $864,345,726,183. This shows that demand is increasing and the use and adoption of BTC in the financial sector is steadily progressing.

To show that the demand for Bitcoin is increasing, Dutch football club PSV Eindhoven recently partnered with a local cryptocurrency exchange as a partner and decided to receive the entire sponsorship amount in Bitcoin, as reported by CoinIdol, a world blockchain news outlet. The event of accepting sponsorship money entirely in Bitcoin was the first in football.
