The cryptocurrency market witnessed a notable surge today, climbing 2.65% to reach a market cap of $2.63 trillion. This growth is attributed in part to the ongoing SEC crypto roundtable, which focuses on establishing unified licensing and regulatory guidelines. However, intraday trading volumes declined slightly, dropping 14.97% to $87.26 billion. Bitcoin continues to dominate the top performers, reaching a new high of $83,389.84, with an impressive 3.48% gain. Ethereum also experienced positive growth, increasing by 1.59% to $1,568.62, while XRP surged by 1.74%, climbing to $2.03. Despite the positive trends, altcoin season continues to be elusive, remaining at a relatively modest 17 out of 100 according to CoinMarketCap.
