Bitcoin’s latest surge, which added $4,000 to its price since Christmas Day, has come to an end. In Bitcoin's lull, altcoins are seizing the opportunity—and booming.
All altcoins rose significantly in the past 24 hours days, including XRP, the beleaguered cryptocurrency whose creators are reckoning with a lawsuit that the US Securities and Exchange Commission slapped on them last week.
Ethereum, the second-largest coin by market capitalization, rose by 14.23% in the past 24 hours to $720; XRP by 7.25% to $0.29 (although the coin is still down by 44% in the past week); Litecoin by 6.57% to $134.18; Bitcoin Cash by 15.56% to $364; Polkadot by 15.78% to $5.76; Cardano by 8.47% to $0.16; Binance Coin (BNB) by 8.59% to $34; and Chainlink by 15.58% to $12.23.
Altcoins’ rise started yesterday. Ethereum made headlines (including Decrypt’s) when it rose above $700 yesterday afternoon. ETH then hit its highest price since May 2018, $737.92, earlier today. Its market cap is $82 billion.
QCP Capital, a Singaporean crypto trading firm, wrote today in a note to investors, “late yesterday we got the usual swapping of BTC profits into the Alts, driving ETH to new cycle highs as well. The ETHBTC bounce happened at 0.023, which has proved a strong level for those looking to diversify their growing BTC balance sheets into ETH.”
It will be interesting to observe whether altcoins will continue to rise should Bitcoin’s price change significantly in the next few days.

Bitcoin rallied sharply on Thursday, alongside major altcoins and equities, as traders responded to growing expectations of interest rate cuts, early signs of renewed institutional demand, and a tentative U.S.-U.K. trade agreement that injected fresh optimism into global markets. The move came despite the Federal Reserve’s decision Wednesday to leave interest rates unchanged. While Fed Chair Jerome Powell declined to commit to a timeline for potential easing, futures markets are already pricing...
In a stunning turn that upended global betting markets, American Cardinal Robert Prevost was elected pope Thursday, becoming the first U.S.-born pontiff and defying odds that heavily favored European contenders. After Pope Francis died on April 21, 2025, speculation quickly turned to who would succeed him as leader of the Catholic Church. Many expected an Italian cardinal or one from a predominantly Catholic country. Ahead of the conclave, U.K.-based OddsChecker ranked Cardinal Pietro Parolin as...
Dogecoin (DOGE) is on a tear Thursday as the largest meme coin by market cap has jumped 14% in the last 24 hours, more than double Bitcoin’s daily percentage gain as BTC reclaimed $100,000 and has continued to rise above $103,000 as of this writing. The leading dog-token is now trading at $0.195, up 36% on the month. Predictors on Myriad Markets give it about a 55% chance of trading above $0.19 in the next two days, based on data from Myriad’s recent flash market. (Disclosure: Myriad is owned by...
