The cryptocurrency market has witnessed a remarkable surge, propelling the total market cap to approximately $1.3 trillion, an increase of over 6.5 percent in the past 24 hours.

Following the ruling, Bitcoin has surpassed the $31,000 mark, signifying a positive development for the leading cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, the altcoin market has exhibited a more optimistic sentiment. The latest crypto price oracles indicate that the TOTAL2 market cap has soared by over 10 percent, reaching approximately $608.7 billion during the early Asian market on Friday.

XRP Takes the Lead
