Among altcoins, Dogecoin has posted the highest growth with an 88.2% rise over the past seven days. Cardano follows closely with a 73.6% increase, while Solana has grown by 28.6%. Lido Staked Ether has also shown strong performance with a 27.2% rise.

The latest rally in the crypto market seems to be driven by renewed interest in both major assets and altcoins. With altcoins posting strong gains, the market could be set for further growth. The post-election surge has created a positive atmosphere, but whether this momentum continues remains to be seen.
