The cryptocurrency market surged sharply over the past 24 hours, adding more than $110 billion in total value as Bitcoin climbed to its highest level in two months and altcoins posted strong gains.
Bitcoin jumped to roughly $96,500 on most exchanges before easing slightly to around $95,000. The move followed a quiet weekend in which BTC traded below $91,000 after failing to break through resistance at $92,000. Buying pressure returned early this week, and momentum strengthened after U.S. inflation data came in lower than expected. Additional headlines following a speech by U.S. President Donald Trump helped fuel the rally, pushing Bitcoin up by more than $4,000 in just a few hours.
As a result, Bitcoin’s market capitalization has risen to nearly $1.9 trillion, while its share of the overall crypto market remains steady at about 56.9%.
Altcoins have also benefited from the bullish momentum. Ethereum surged more than 6% to move above $3,300 after dipping below $3,100 earlier in the week. XRP climbed around 4% to $2.15, BNB is trading near $940, and Solana reached $144.
Cardano gained over 8% to about $0.42, while Stellar jumped 9% to $0.24. Chainlink and Dogecoin both posted gains of roughly 6–7%.
Smaller-cap tokens saw even stronger moves, with IP up 28%, PEPE and ICP both rising 14%, PUMP climbing 12%, ENA gaining 11%, and ARB advancing 10%.
With these increases, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization now stands at approximately $3.33 trillion
