*October 21st, 2021:* The global cryptocurrency market cap reached $2.37 trillion today, marking a 1.23% increase from yesterday. Leading the charge was Bitcoin (BTC), which held steady above the $68,000 threshold. Other major players such as Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP also saw price increases ranging from 3-7%. ApeCoin (APE) emerged as the day’s biggest gainer, jumping almost 50%.
Despite these impressive gains, BTC’s market dominance dropped slightly to 57.14%, while its overall market cap remained at $1.36 trillion. On the other hand, Etherium hit a price point of around $2,700 and boasted a market capitalization of approximately $328 billion.

In addition to these figures are notable jumps seen among meme currencies like Dogecoin (+3%) and Shiba Inu (+2%). Newcomers like Pepe Coin (+3%), dogwifhat (+4%)and Bonk (+5%) have also shown promising growth rates throughout this bullish period known colloquially as “Uptober”. It should be noted however that Litecoin (-2%) took somewhat opposite direction compared others; experiencing minor losses during this timeframe..
Finally turning attention towards altcoins shows us mixed results – DYDX surged nearly thirty percent ($$); meanwhile JUP climbed about ten percent after starting off lower earlier this morning . Conversely though , MANTRA fell marginally by one percent following previous days surge whilst AERODROME FINANCE dipped close down one percent too . These shifts reflect wider trends within current markets indicating cautious investors looking for opportunities despite generalized upliftment across many sectors .. Overall sentiment remains positive but measured given ongoing geopolitical tensions worldwide coupled with economic uncertainties caused due COVID-19 pandemic .
