According to data from CoinGecko, the global crypto market capitalization increased by 0.2% in the past 24 hours and is currently sitting at $2.546 trillion. The total daily trading volume surged 70%, reaching $137 billion.

However, it should be noted that the market is showing signs of overheating due to the consistent upward momentum without a major catalyst except for the ETF inflows.
