Bitcoin Surges Past $91K as Crypto Markets Reach New Milestone
Crypto markets experienced a significant rebound on January 4 as Bitcoin reclaimed the $91,000 level. The rally pushed the total crypto market capitalization above $3 trillion.
Ethereum and Solana also rose, with Ethereum climbing approximately 7% over the week while maintaining support above the $3,000 level. XRP surged above $2, flipping BNB to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
The rally marks a reversal from late 2025 when crypto prices typically sold off during US trading hours. Market participants expect clearer crypto regulations in the US and increased institutional participation during 2026, which could be contributing factors to the current momentum.
