The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a notable boom, led by an unexpected rise in Dogecoin (DOGE), one of the top 20 altcoins.
This rise was primarily driven by the integration of X Payments, an important development in the digital payments sector.
The meme-based cryptocurrency saw its value rise to a 24-hour high of $0.08996, eventually settling at $0.0785.
This upside is not limited to Dogecoin; Other major cryptocurrencies, including Stellar (XLM) and BNB, are also seeing some gains.
A remarkable rise in the meme currency
Dogecoin's performance could be impressive attributed To the latest strategic move made by X Payments.
After the launch of their dedicated payments account, the cryptocurrency community was full of speculation regarding the potential implications of various cryptocurrencies.
Dogecoin, in particular, recorded a significant double-digit price rise, however, this rise was followed by a slight pullback, with the coin's value balancing out at $0.0785.
This bullish momentum is not limited to the leading meme coin. Siacoin (SC) rose 16.7%, making a big jump in the market cap rankings. Chiliz (CHZ) also enjoyed a 12% rise.
However, it's not just lesser-known cryptocurrencies that appear in the green; Major players such as BNB, Stellar (XLM), and Avalanche (AVAX) recorded modest but positive increases, each less than 2%.
Bitcoin performance varies
In contrast to the boom in altcoins, Bitcoin, the main cryptocurrency, appears to be in a state of limbo.
Despite the initial excitement surrounding the launch of several Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, the price of Bitcoin has unexpectedly fallen.
The introduction of these ETFs was initially seen as a milestone in the mainstream financial adoption of Bitcoin.
However, the current market response indicates a more complex interplay between factors affecting Bitcoin's value, ranging from profit-taking strategies to reallocation of funds within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
At press time, Bitcoin is trading at $41,618, according to CoinGecko data.
