Crypto market capitalisation hits record $3.2 trillion, says CoinGecko
The value of the global cryptocurrency market has topped $3 trillion as the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president spurred bets that friendlier U.S. regulation could usher in a new boom for all corners of the asset class.
The sum market value of cryptocurrencies touched a high of nearly $3.2 trillion early on Nov. 14 in Asia, according to analytics and data aggregator CoinGecko.
That puts it above the heady days of 2021, when pandemic-era stimulus pumped up speculative investments, and marks a stunning revival from just a few months ago when crypto prices and turnover had been flatlining and the outlook was humdrum.
Bitcoin dominates the market and the market value milestone coincided with the token’s rise to a record $93,480.
