Total Market Capitalization Approaches Prior Peaks
In other developments, CEO Richard Teng recently announced the Binance Mastercard’s launch in Brazil. Former CEO Changpeng Zhao met with Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to address the nation’s crypto initiatives and BNB reserves. The impressive rise of BNB has contributed to a total market cap of $4.23 trillion, nearing its previous all-time peak in mid-August. This time, altcoins are leading as BTC hovers 3.2% below its record high of $121,000.
Analyst Ted Pillows remarked that the total altcoin market cap excluding stablecoins hasn’t yet set a new all-time high:
“I’m certain that altseason will happen, but not until the altcoin market cap hits a new ATH,” he stated.
Meanwhile, the altcoin market cap, not counting BTC and ETH, reached $1.16 trillion on Thursday, approaching its peak of September 18.
Today’s Other Notable Performers
Ether hit a two-week high of $4,550 before retreating back to $4,480. Solana rose by 2.7% to $235, while Bitcoin Cash also saw similar gains. However, the major highlights were the Binance-linked tokens.
The Blockchain Center’s altseason index is sitting at 71, just shy of the 75 marking an official altcoin season, while CoinMarketCap’s index is at 67 and Bitget’s is even lower at 62.
