Bitcoin SV BSV

Where BSV sits in the market

#149 places Bitcoin SV in the top of the mid-cap band. Liquidity is already fragmented at this depth: a large share of real BSV volume can sit on two or three venues, so a quote on a secondary exchange may lag the primary market by seconds and by more than a basis point. Position size matters more than entry timing here.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 5 live BSV order books (Bybit, Gate.io, HTX, Upbit, Bithumb). That is coverage in line with a #149 ranking: enough books to cross-check a quote, few enough that one of them can dominate price formation for hours at a time. One of them is a Korean won market, so the Kimchi-premium spread between the KRW and USDT quote is visible on this page.

BSV against its all-time high

More than 95% separates BSV from its all-time high of $489.75 (on 2021-04-16) — a 28.7x recovery. At that distance the high stops working as a reference at all; it belongs to a different supply structure, a different holder base and typically a different cycle. What carries information for BSV now is the downside, so read the range section below before this one. It was set 6 years ago. A reference that old says more about the cycle it belongs to than about the asset as it trades now.

BSV across its historical range

The recorded range runs 46.7x, from $10.49 to $489.75 — wide by the standards of traditional assets, moderate for this one's class.

At 62.7% above its record low of $10.49 (on 2026-06-25), BSV sits near the edge of its own price history. Nothing has traded beneath that level, so there is no support to reference, no volume shelf and no cost-basis cluster underneath. Because that low is itself recent, the asset is in an active downtrend rather than sitting at an old floor — each new low invalidates the previous one as a reference.

BSV supply structure

Of a capped 21.0 million BSV, 20.0 million is circulating — 95.4% issued, with 973,750 still to be created. The remaining issuance is small enough that emission is a second-order influence on price, but the schedule still matters for anyone modelling multi-year supply.

What kind of asset BSV is

Bitcoin SV is a base-layer network, so BSV is simultaneously the chain's security budget and its unit of account rather than a claim on a business. Value accrual runs through validator economics and through whatever activity settles on the chain itself. Because it is secured by proof of work, new BSV arrives on a fixed schedule and is paid to miners who carry real energy costs — a structural, price-insensitive source of sell pressure that proof-of-stake chains do not have.

CoinGecko files BSV under 3 categories, including Bitcoin Fork, Proof of Work (PoW).
