The cryptocurrency market is experiencing another thrilling rally, bringing excitement to investors and traders globally. Major tokens such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP have surged, leaving the market in a sea of green. Meanwhile, meme coins BRETT and Book of Meme (BOME) have outperformed, making impressive gains of 19% and 27%, respectively. This rally has ignited a wave of optimism, with market participants wondering if this is the beginning of another major bull run.
Bitcoin (BTC) Tops $64K
Bitcoin’s surge to $64K is one of the most significant highlights in today’s market. The flagship cryptocurrency showed a 2% increase over the past 24 hours, with its intraday low recorded at $62,035. BTC is trading at $64,210, backed by a substantial increase in trading volume. This sudden jump in BTC’s price is fueled by the $308.76 million inflows recorded in the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs last week, sparking renewed confidence in the market.
Ethereum (ETH) Climbs to $2,500
Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is also riding the bullish wave. ETH pumped nearly 3% in the last 24 hours, crossing the $2,500 mark. The cryptocurrency is now trading at $2,525, with a market cap of $304.18 billion. Despite recording outflows in spot Ethereum ETFs, ETH’s trading volume grew by 16%, reflecting the broader market’s positive sentiment.
Solana (SOL) Shows Strong Performance
Solana (SOL) is another altcoin seeing substantial gains, climbing nearly 5% over the past 24 hours to reach $153. With its intraday low at $144.62, SOL is benefiting from the overall market rally. Its market cap currently sits at $71.75 billion, showing that it continues to be a strong contender among top-tier cryptocurrencies.
XRP Gains Amid ETF Speculation
XRP, although showing more modest gains compared to others, has also posted a 0.42% increase and is trading at $0.5385. Speculation about an XRP-focused ETF entering the market has fueled optimism around the asset, pushing its market cap to $30.48 billion. This comes at a time when Ripple’s legal troubles with the SEC are nearing a resolution, and positive developments could further boost XRP’s price action.
Meme Coins Steal the Spotlight: BRETT and BOME Soar
While traditional cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH continue to perform well, meme coins have stolen the show today. BRETT, one of the emerging meme coins, surged by 19% over the past 24 hours to trade at $0.1147. Its intraday high was recorded at $0.1167, signaling strong upward momentum.
On the other hand, BOME (Book of Meme) saw an even more dramatic rise, with a staggering 27% increase. It is now trading at $0.008846, reaching an intraday high of $0.009003. These meme coins are riding the wave of investor enthusiasm and represent a sector that has consistently captured attention with its potential for quick returns.
Market Overview
Today’s market rally is reflected in the global crypto market cap, which saw a 1.95% increase to reach $2.23 trillion. Meanwhile, total market volume rose by 15.27% to $52.87 billion, highlighting the increased trading activity across various assets.

Meme Coins Rally: DOGE, SHIB, and More
Other meme coins, such as Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), have also posted modest gains. DOGE is up 2%, now trading at $0.1131, while SHIB gained nearly 2% to trade at $0.00001799. Lesser-known meme coins like Pepe Coin (PEPE), dogwifhat (WIF), and Bonk have all seen increases of 2%-4%, further boosting investor sentiment in this niche.
Top Losers: POPCAT, Helium, and Uniswap
While most cryptocurrencies are basking in today’s bullish momentum, some assets have slipped. POPCAT saw a 6% drop, now trading at $1.39. Helium (HNT) also dipped by 3%, trading at $6.31, while Uniswap (UNI) declined by 2%, with its price now at $7.86.
Conclusion: Is the Bull Run Back?
Today’s rally, led by Bitcoin’s surge to $64K and the strong performance of meme coins like BRETT and BOME, has ignited hopes for a sustained bull market. While the broader market continues to move upward, traders and investors are closely watching developments in the ETF space and institutional inflows to gauge the next move.
With the market seeing increased trading volumes and positive momentum across the board, this could be the beginning of a larger rally as we head towards the year’s end. For now, all eyes are on Bitcoin and whether it can maintain its position above $64K, as well as on the performance of meme coins, which continue to show impressive gains.
