The crypto world is experiencing a resurgence as Bitcoin (BTC) and major altcoins make significant gains.

Trading volume has also surged, showing a 34.28% increase, pushing the total market volume to $50.23 billion.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Lead the Charge

Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, has jumped by over 2% in the last 24 hours, currently trading at $63,487. Intraday figures show a low of $61,833.15 and a high of $63,957. Despite a $301.54 million outflow from Bitcoin ETFs last week, its market cap remains solid at $1.25 trillion.

While Ethereum ETFs experienced an outflow of $30.69 million last week, its market cap has reached $300.34 billion. Whale Alert data reveals that a significant amount of ETH was transferred to exchanges over the weekend, fueling speculation among crypto traders and analysts.
