Amid Bitcoin’s surge to new heights<\/a> and a revival in the altcoin sector, the combined market value of digital assets has exceeded $4 trillion for the first time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The current figure stands at $4.03 trillion, with a total trading volume over the past 24 hours reaching $277.4 billion, according to CoinGecko.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin’s dominance index is at 59.5%, having slightly decreased recently, particularly amid Ethereum’s rise<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSurpassing the $4 trillion mark is not just symbolic but a sign of a structural revaluation of cryptocurrencies in the global financial system,\u201d stated<\/a> Vincent Liu, Chief Investment Officer at Kronos Research.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He noted that the rise in the price of the first cryptocurrency, steady inflows into ETFs, and the gradual removal of regulatory uncertainty have contributed to the return of significant capital to the sector.<\/p>\n

Over the past 24 hours, digital gold has risen by 1.6%, returning to price levels above $120,000. However, blue-chip altcoins have shown more convincing growth over 24 hours, ranging from 5% (BNB) to 14.8% (Dogecoin).<\/p>\n

\u201cAltcoins have shown confident growth \u2014 traders are shifting capital from Bitcoin to higher beta assets<\/span>. This pattern is typical for the rally of the final phase of the cycle. However, this time it is supported by technological improvements and fundamental indicators,\u201d said BTC Markets analyst Rachel Lucas.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She noted a higher level of ecosystem maturity in the current cycle. According to Lucas, growth is supported by the development of institutional infrastructure, regulated products, and the expansion of corporate participation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBitcoin has started appearing on balance sheets, ETFs serve as a legitimate entry channel, and stablecoins are developing as a parallel payment system,\u201d the expert explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In her view, the next \u201ctechnical resistance level\u201d is near the $4.5 trillion mark. However, there are risks of a decline in capitalisation if capital inflows into exchange-traded funds slow or the macroeconomic situation worsens.<\/p>\n

Kronos’s Investment Director Liu noted that reaching the $4 trillion mark makes the digital asset market \u201cmore complex.\u201d According to him, as liquidity grows and flows fragment between networks and platforms, \u201cthe role of infrastructure and execution quality increases.\u201d Sustaining growth will require not only momentum but also \u201cthe resilience of systems with adaptive risk management mechanisms.\u201d<\/p>\n
