Crypto Market Turns Green, Market Cap Surpasses $4T

After a nearly week-long downtrend, green dominates the crypto heatmap today, showcasing a major recovery in digital assets. CoinMarketCap data reveals that with a significant uptrend, digital assets like SOL, XRP, and others are flourishing. As a result, the global crypto market cap has surged 4%, surpassing the $4 trillion mark. Moreover, the trading volume has hit $260 billion after an 80% surge.

Although the uncertainty and shift in trend are normal in the crypto space, the reversal today came unexpectedly. Various macroeconomic events, including the FOMC Minutes, had already brought unexpected volatility to the market. The same was believed to continue until the interest rate cut odds revived hopes for the assets.

Why SOL, XRP, DOGE, PENGU, and Other Coins are Exploding?

The crypto market is showing signs of life once again, as Bitcoin and the rest of the altcoins regain upward momentum. Beginning with BTC, whose price is up 2% today, it is finally above the $115k mark after the earlier crash.

Altcoins are also on a similar trajectory, led by the Solana and Ethereum price rally. ETH nears the ATH, whereas SOL crossed the $200 mark, led by Circle’s $500M USDC minting, ETF momentum, and more.

Notably, the launch of Kanye’s YZY token on the Solana network also fueled the rally. DOGE price is also up 8.8% today amid whale accumulation and trend reversal, whereas PENGU is up 15% amid the game launch hype.

Even XRP has surpassed the $3 mark as the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit officially ends.

All these altcoins are facing increased trader interaction and high trading volume. In this regard, Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech has played the most significant role as he hinted at upcoming interest rate cuts.

Moreover, the ETF issuers have updated their filings due to good signs from the SEC, fueling the digital assets’ performance. Overall, major developments (positive) for the crypto space took place in the last few hours, pumping the market up.
