The cryptocurrency market has entered uncharted territory, crossing the $4 trillion valuation mark in what many see as a turning point for digital finance.
Data from Coingecko confirms the milestone, with Bitcoin leading in dominance but altcoins accelerating rapidly.
Although Bitcoin’s price rose modestly to around $120,134, altcoins delivered the real fireworks. XRP surged to a new all-time high of $3.62, Ethereum reclaimed levels above $3,600, and assets like Cardano, Solana, and Dogecoin registered gains between 6% and 15%.
Vincent Liu, CIO at Kronos Research, said the breakout signifies more than just price action—it reflects institutional confidence. “We’re seeing stronger foundations this time,” he noted, citing consistent ETF inflows, evolving policy clarity, and Bitcoin’s growing role in financial portfolios.
Altcoin strength appears to be part of a broader rotation as traders shift from Bitcoin into riskier assets. According to BTC Markets analyst Rachael Lucas, this mirrors late-stage bull trends but is now backed by far more robust infrastructure, from regulated ETFs to corporate treasuries.
The rally also coincides with new legislative momentum in the U.S. Congress, where three crypto bills—especially the GENIUS stablecoin bill—have cleared the House and are heading to President Trump’s desk.
With the $4 trillion milestone now behind it, the crypto market is eyeing new highs. Analysts see potential resistance at $4.5 trillion, though the pace of institutional adoption and further ETF-driven inflows could drive prices higher.
As capital spreads across chains and ecosystems, experts warn that execution, security, and smart regulation will become increasingly critical to sustain growth.
