The cryptocurrency market experienced a significant upward trend on Monday, with Bitcoin climbing above $85,000 and pushing the global crypto market capitalization to approximately $2.7 trillion. According to the latest market data, Bitcoin (BTC/USD) exceeded the $85,000 threshold amid broader market strength that saw most leading digital tokens post gains.

This positive movement aligned with gains in traditional financial markets, where the Nasdaq 100 rose 0.6%, the S&P 500 gained 0.8%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average also climbed 0.8%.
Bitcoin Leads Market Rally
Data from CoinMarketCap showed Bitcoin appreciating by 1.4% to reach $84,936, accompanied by a substantial 30.4% increase in 24-hour trading volume to $35.48 billion.

Other prominent altcoins also showed positive momentum, with XRP rising 1.4%, BNB increasing by 1%, and Solana demonstrating robust growth of 2.5%.
Not all cryptocurrencies participated in the rally, however. Dogecoin (DOGE/USD) declined by 1.6%, while Cardano (ADA/USD) experienced a modest 0.3% decrease. This mixed performance occurred as U.S. Treasury yields declined, with the 10-year yield dropping to 4.362% from 4.490% and the five-year yield falling to 4.000% from 4.154%.
