Crypto Market Value Soars Past $3 Trillion as Bitcoin Reaches New Heights
Crypto markets have extended their early 2026 rebound, pushing the total market capitalization above $3 trillion. Bitcoin (BTC) is leading the charge, climbing above $91,000 on January 4.
Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) also posted gains, rising roughly 1% to near $3,150 and about 1.6%, respectively.
The rally marks a reversal from late 2025 when crypto prices typically sold off during US trading hours. Bitcoin's move above $90,000 represents a key psychological level after multi-week consolidation between $85,000 and $90,000.
