Crypto Market Surges Past $3 Trillion Amid Bitcoin Rally

The cryptocurrency market has reached a new milestone, surpassing $3 trillion in total capitalization. This comes as Bitcoin (BTC) climbed above $91,000 on January 4, marking a key psychological level after multi-week consolidation between $85,000 and $90,000.

Ethereum (ETH) rose approximately 1% to near $3,150 while Solana (SOL) gained about 1.6% over the same period. Bitcoin traded around $91,300 in Asian morning hours, up about 1.4% daily and more than 4% over seven days.

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.
