Today, talking about Bitcoin's all-time high almost feels like a repetition. It all started with Donald Trump's overwhelming victory in the 24 US presidential elections in the middle of last week. BTC surged above $90,000, breaking through a peak of $7,3737 in March.
Over the next few days, the asset broke through a few more hurdles, most recently tapping $80,000 yesterday. At first, the bear managed to intervene and stop the initial attempt.
However, the cryptocurrency recently appeared to be in an all-out bull market and broke through this level late last night. Over the past 12 hours or so, it continued to rise and soared to the latest peak of $81,800. Despite a slight pullback since then, BTC is still above $81,000. That means it's rising nearly 3% daily and over 18% weekly.
Its market capitalization has soared to over $1.6 trillion, and its dominance over copycats is as high as 55.6%.
Dogecoin and Shiba Inu were among the top performers yesterday. As reports, the former even slashed XRP and USDC as the sixth-largest cryptocurrency today after years of peak values. Today's high is just under $0.3. SHIB also published its own local spikes, and here are some of the reasons behind yesterday's spike.
NEAR, CRO, TAO, KAS, STX, and WIF are the other double-digit price gainers in today's large-cap stocks.
In contrast, ADA has calmed down after Sunday's massive rally, while ETH, BNB, TON, XRP, TRX, and AVAX have even slightly lost money.
Since yesterday, the total market value of cryptocurrencies has increased by another 50 billion dollars, and the market capitalization of CG has reached 2.9 trillion dollars.
