The past week saw the crypto market breaking records and setting new milestones, with Bitcoin reaching a fresh all-time high on Inauguration Day, fueled by optimism around potential government support for crypto. XRP climbed to its strongest level in seven years, and Solana made headlines with its own impressive record.
Meanwhile, a surge in ETF filings and a leadership change at the SEC, with crypto-friendly Mark Uyeda stepping in as acting chair, signaled growing institutional interest and potential regulatory shifts, paving the way for further integration of crypto into traditional finance.
Key Highlights This Week:
- Bitcoin Hits New All-Time High: A milestone moment reflects the market’s optimism.
- XRP Reaches Seven-Year Peak: Driven by ETF enthusiasm, the asset sees renewed confidence.
- Solana’s Record Surge: SOL hits $295, cementing its reputation as a standout blockchain.
Launched just two days before the Inauguration, new memecoin $TRUMP had a volatile Sunday, but rallied back over 70% before trading lower overnight.
