Bitcoin investors have reason to celebrate — the leading cryptocurrency has just reached a fresh all-time high. But BTC isn’t the only asset setting new records this week.
On October 5, Bitcoin surged to a record peak of $125,750, marking the highest price in its history. Over the past seven days, the cryptocurrency has gained 14%, pushing its market capitalization to $2.48 trillion. BTC is now the world’s seventh-largest asset — ahead of Amazon and right behind silver.
Altcoins are also showing impressive strength. The biggest surprise came from Binance Coin (BNB), which set a new all-time high at $1,190 overnight on October 4. The token has risen about 21% in the past week and nearly 40% over the past month.
Binance, which controls roughly 41% of the global crypto market, remains the industry’s dominant player. Its native blockchain, BNB Chain, continues to show strong growth in user activity and ecosystem adoption.
Other top altcoins are still catching up to their record levels. Ethereum is currently 6.8% below its all-time high, while XRP is 20% away. Solana also needs another 20% rally to set a new record, and Cardano remains 71% below its previous peak.
Tron would need a 21% gain to bring all investors back into profit territory, while Dogecoin — like Cardano — is still down 64% from its all-time high.
