The cryptocurrency market witnessed a dramatic surge of $140 billion in the last three days, with altcoins taking center stage as they outperformed Bitcoin. Data from Ash Crypto reveals significant gains across various tokens, particularly Chainlink, Dogecoin, and Cardano. Bitcoin experienced modest growth of 1.02%, reaching a new all-time high of $126,223 on October 5th. However, the true momentum lies with altcoins, driven by positive sentiment from DeFi applications and growing institutional interest. Altcoin gains include Chainlink’s impressive jump of 7.43%, Dogecoin’s solid 5.61% surge, and Cardano’s climb of 4.21%. While Bitcoin saw a modest increase, its relative slowdown was highlighted by the market structure’s potential for a breakout toward $6 trillion. This bullish outlook is further supported by record-breaking ETF inflows last week. The U.S., in particular, saw a surge of $5 billion in crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) investments. This influx reflects increased investor confidence in digital assets amidst current economic uncertainty.
