Macro Support and Changes in US Politics Drive Overall Cryptocurrency Rally

Since the Federal Reserve initiated the current rate-cutting cycle in September, Bitcoin has seen a net inflow of $9 billion. CoinShares believes that the combination of macro support and significant changes in the US political system may be the reason behind the heightened investor sentiment.

Ethereum, which has been struggling, saw an inflow of $157 million last week, marking the largest inflow since the ETF's launch in July this year, signaling a significant improvement in market sentiment.

Other altcoins also received inflows, especially Solana with a net inflow of $3.9 million, Uniswap with $1 million inflow, and Tron with $0.5 million inflow. Blockchain-related stocks also saw an inflow of $61 million.

Bitcoin hit a historic high of $89,530 this morning, with spot Bitcoin ETFs and cryptocurrency-related companies such as MicroStrategy and Coinbase seeing remarkable price surges.
