Bitcoin Tops $106K, Market Cap Surges Past $2.1 Trillion
Bitcoin (BTC) has once again grabbed the headlines, surging past the $106,000 mark after a 1.2% gain in the last 24 hours. Despite its modest 0.9% weekly growth, the move signals strong resilience as the total crypto market cap climbs above $2.1 trillion. Investors appear increasingly confident as BTC cements its position as the market leader amid heightened interest in digital assets.
Ethereum and Solana Steal the Show in Altcoin Comeback
While Bitcoin led the way, Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) stole the spotlight with stronger rallies. Ethereum jumped 3.6% over the past day and 5.2% in the week, settling at $2,622.75. With over $16 billion in volume, ETH’s role in reviving the altcoin market has become undeniable.
Solana surged an impressive 7.2% in just 24 hours, trading at $156.79. The weekly gain of 4.1% and a robust $82.7 billion market cap highlight renewed retail and institutional backing for SOL. Both ETH and SOL now act as anchors in the ongoing altcoin rebound.
Mixed Bag for Other Top Altcoins
XRP (XRP) edged up 1.5% to $2.18, though it’s still grappling with a 2.3% weekly dip. BNB (BNB) showed mild strength at $654.26, while Dogecoin (DOGE) climbed 1.1% but couldn’t shake off a 2% weekly decline. TRON (TRX) suffered the worst, falling 4.6% over the week and trading around $1.10.
Small-Cap Tokens Explode in Value
Several smaller-cap tokens made headlines with explosive gains. Kled AI (KLED) soared 32.4%, Marinade (MNDE) jumped 33.3%, and Housecoin (HOUSE) surged 28.8% backed by high trading volumes. Araracoin (ARARA) and Rei (REI) also recorded double-digit growth, reinforcing optimism in altcoin sentiment.
Altcoins Take the Wheel Amid Market Rotation
As Ethereum and Solana pull ahead, traders appear to be rotating out of underperforming tokens into high-volume leaders. The shift underscores growing confidence in the broader crypto ecosystem, especially for assets with strong fundamentals and active trading support. The altcoin rally is no longer speculative—it’s gaining traction.
