PEPE, BONK and WIF lead memecoin rally as ETH surges above $3,500, with Bitcoin trading just 4% away from all-time highs.

The crypto rally continues in full swing, with Bitcoin surging past $66,000 just minutes after U.S. markets opened. The world’s most valuable digital asset is changing hands for $66,400.

Today’s move represents a 6.5% increase on the day and a whopping 27% jump in the past two weeks. Bitcoin’s market capitalization hit $1.3 trillion, topping its all-time high of $1.27 trillion on Nov. 8, 2021.

And while Bitcoin has surpassed its previous all-time highs in Euros and British pounds, the asset is now eyeing its historic maximum in dollar terms, a mere 4% away.

Fuelled by the voracious investor demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs, the momentum has been spilling over into the rest of the crypto market, although certain sectors are benefiting more.

Just a week away from its Dencun upgrade, Ethereum has soared past $3,500, notching up a 3.8% gain today. A $500 billion market cap now looms on the horizon, as the network stands at $427 billion.

According to CoinShares, Ethereum has received much interest from institutional investors. Last week, it topped $85 million in weekly inflows, the highest since July 2022.
