The global cryptocurrency market capitalization has surpassed $4 trillion for the first time, driven by a strong rally in major altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH) and XRP, as well as renewed investor and institutional interest following significant legislative developments in the United States.

Key catalysts behind this surge:

Legislation: The U.S. House of Representatives passed major crypto bills, including the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act, which provide regulatory clarity—particularly for stablecoins and digital asset markets. This regulatory advancement has bolstered confidence and legitimacy in the space and is seen as a pathway for broader institutional adoption.

Executive order (in progress): President Trump is expected to sign an executive order allowing 401(k) retirement funds (a $9 trillion market) to invest directly in cryptocurrencies, opening the door for substantial new inflows.

ETF inflows: Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have seen record investments, indicating growing institutional exposure. July alone has seen $5.5 billion into Bitcoin ETFs and $2.9 billion into Ether ETFs.

Altcoin rally: ETH and XRP have been leading the market, with XRP hitting new all-time highs and Ethereum surging around 8% in value; these have outperformed Bitcoin’s steadier gains above $120,000.
