Crypto Market Breaks $4T Barrier: Bitcoin Leads While Altcoins Gain Momentum

Reading Time: < 1 minute

In a watershed moment for digital assets, the cryptocurrency market capitalization eclipsed $4 trillion Thursday, fueled by Bitcoin’s steady dominance and surging altcoin prices.

CoinGecko metrics show Bitcoin commanding nearly 60% of the market ($2.39T) as it approaches its $123K peak, currently trading at $120,134.

Market analysts point to converging factors: “ETF adoption, regulatory progress, and Bitcoin’s resilience have created perfect conditions for institutional capital inflows,” observed Kronos Research’s Vincent Liu.

Notably, altcoins outpaced Bitcoin’s 1.71% gain, suggesting capital may be rotating toward smaller-cap tokens.
