What is driving it?
The move is primarily Bitcoin-led, with major altcoins following. Reports also point to substantial ETF inflows and a sharp increase in derivatives activity. One notable risk is leverage: CoinMarketCap currently reports roughly $1.36B in 24-hour liquidations, with shorts accounting for more than longs. �

Importantly, this is the first return above $3T since January, according to reports covering today's move. �
The Cryptonomist
Key level to watch: whether total market cap can hold above $3T, rather than merely spike through it. BTC holding the $85K–$87K area is also central to whether the broader rally continues.
