Crypto Market Surges to $2.95 Trillion Amid Multiple Catalysts
The cryptocurrency market saw a significant rally on September 29, 2026, with its total value reaching $2.95 trillion, up 1.3% in a day, according to CoinGecko data.
Bitcoin traded near $84,170, Ethereum near $2,713, and XRP near $1.51, all experiencing gains. The rally was attributed to multiple factors: a Trump denial that calmed oil prices, whale accumulation on Ethereum, and a new bank-grade stablecoin deal between Coinbase and Citi.
The Citi-Coinbase partnership allows corporate clients, including large multinational companies, to accept stablecoin payments through Citi's merchant acquiring services. This move is seen as a trust signal for the space, providing a traditional banking option for stablecoins.
