    Global Cryptos Market Cap Surpasses $4T, BTC, ETH Rally

    Global cryptocurrency market capitalisation surpassed $4 trillion again amidst a fresh but strong rally across the top 10 digital assets as a result of an improved sentiment driven by corporate and retail buyers.

    Trading data showed that the crypto market size inched higher by more than 2% to $4.14 trillion, driven by a monster rally in Bitcoin and Ethereum with support price appreciation in other notable names.

    Bitcoin briefly touched $124,000 again before it pulled back to $121,000. BTCUSD market cap edged higher to about $2.5 trillion early on Thursday, cementing its dominance as the world’s largest cryptocurrency.

    The token has gained more than 6% over the last seven days. Ethereum is trading around $4,800 at the press time due to increased bargain hunting in the second-largest cryptocurrency. Traded near $5000, Ethereum eclipsed its 2021 all-time high, helped by sustained demand from corporate treasury buyers and big inflows into ETH-focused funds.

    Since April’s tariff-shock low of about $1,400 a piece, Ether has soared 240%, leaving Bitcoin’s 60% gain looking like a weekend stroll. Due to sharp uptick, Ethereum’s market cap is now brushing up against $572 billion, with bulls eyeing the $600 billion mark as the next psychological milestone.

    Ripple (XRPUSD) has inched up to $3.25, up by 64 basis points on the day, but the momentum has slowed with Solana (SOL-USD) already down by 1% in the last 24 hours to settle at $205. Transcorp Hotels Sets to Pay Interim Dividend to Shareholders
