Crypto Market Update: Major Cryptocurrencies Soar
Solana and XRP Lead the Charge
Solana, a major cryptocurrency, has seen a significant increase in its value over the past 24 hours, rising 10% to a current price of $209. This marks the highest price seen for SOL since December 19. The cryptocurrency had reached a new all-time high price above $263 in November, but then dipped as low as $176 on December 20.
Ripple-linked XRP has also climbed 11% to $2.41 as of this writing, touching $2.44 earlier Thursday—the highest price seen since December 18. XRP touched a seven-year high price of $2.82 in early December, but has been volatile since, dipping as low as $1.98 on two occasions since.
Other Altcoins Follow Suit
Other altcoins, such as Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX), Chainlink (LINK), and Stellar (XLM), have also seen double-digit percentage gains over the past day, making them part of the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap.
Bitcoin and Dogecoin Experience Gains
Bitcoin, the market-leading coin, has climbed above the $97,000 mark for the first time in more than a week, sitting at $97,015 as of this writing. It’s up 3.5% on the day, with the market-leading coin’s rebound likely propelling other gains in the market.
Bitcoin just set an all-time price high above $108,000 in December, but then proceeded to dip below the $92,000 mark as recently as December 30.
Dogecoin, the leading meme coin, is also up to a weekly high price at $0.34, rising more than 7% on the day. DOGE is coming off of a three-year high price mark set in December, but the famously volatile coin dipped below $0.27 on December 20 amid a broader crypto market selloff.
Fartcoin Sees Remarkable Gains
No meme coin in the top 100 cryptocurrencies is having a better day than Fartcoin (FARTCOIN), which spiked 47% over the past day to a current price of $1.40, after reaching a new all-time high of $1.45 earlier Thursday.
