Moreover, Dogecoin echoed optimism across the broader market amid D.O.G.E-related developments.
Here’s a brief report on some of the top crypto market headlines reported by CoinGape Media in the past seven days.
Bitcoin Hits New ATH Amid Crypto Bull Market
Notably, this week saw BTC price attain a new height of $93,434.36, sparking a tidal wave of optimism among market investors. The coin soared in tandem with increased institutional interest post-U.S. elections, as seen with Bitwise hitting $10 billion in client assets under management.
Further, amid the flagship crypto’s bullish movement, top trader Peter Brandt and investment firm Bernstein predicted BTC price rally to $200K. However, it’s also noteworthy that BTC witnessed slight turbulence this week, attributable to macroeconomic events.
The US CPI inflation rose to 2.6%, raising investor concerns over future movements. Nevertheless, the market closes this week in a bullish state.
XRP Gains Momentum
Simultaneously, XRP price extended weekly gains to 93%, solidifying investor optimism on the asset. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse took the stage to reveal key reasons behind the coin’s strong rally this week, pointing out the post-election environment as a pro-cryptocurrency era.
Also, with speculations of SEC Chair Gary Gansler’s resignation on the rise, market sentiments for Ripple’s coin remain optimistic. Meanwhile, the XRP documentary premiered this week, garnering additional market attention toward the crypto.
Dogecoin Gains Traction Amid D.O.G.E. Saga
Simultaneously, DOGE price extended weekly gains to 54% over the past seven days, primarily attributable to Elon Musk’s D.O.G.E’s saga post-U.S. elections. The American entrepreneur was appointed as the Department of Government Efficiency head alongside V. Ramaswamy under Trump’s cabinet, bringing significant attention to Dogecoin.
On the other hand, with the Dogecoin lawsuit against Elon Musk withdrawn, market sentiments orbiting the meme token remain bullish. Simultaneously, CoinGape Media reported DOGE whale accumulations to have burgeoned substantially this week. Also, the leading DOGE wallet, MyDoge, announced the launch of DogeOS shortly afterward.
