# Crypto Market Cap Nears $4 Trillion As ETH And XRP Surge

Total crypto market capitalization is within striking distance of the $4 trillion milestone, driven by a daily surge in Bitcoin, Ether, XRP and other cryptocurrencies as three major crypto bills were passed in the US House.

A $4 trillion market cap would place cryptocurrencies just behind Nvidia, the biggest publicly-listed company in the world, which crossed a $4 trillion market cap for the first time on July 9 and is now at $4.2 trillion.

Binance-owned CoinMarketCap shows peak crypto market capitalization figures at $3.8 trillion, while TradingView has the number at $3.9 trillion, higher than the previous peak of $3.73 trillion in December.

However, some trackers like CoinGecko have already shown that crypto market capitalization has crossed the milestone.

## ETH and XRP driving market gains

Bitcoin (BTC) topped $120,000 again on Thursday following a minor daily gain, but Ether (ETH) and XRP (XRP) are surging after the US House passed three key crypto bills ahead of the August recess.

Ether prices rose 8% to top $3,600 for the first time since early January, culminating in a 40% gain for the asset over the past fortnight.

Meanwhile, the Ripple cross-border token XRP skyrocketed almost 20% on the day to a year-to-date high of $3.64 in early trading on Friday.

## More gains to come, say analysts

“Traders see digital asset prices surge from regulatory and institutional support,” director at LVRG Research, Nick Ruck, told Cointelegraph.

> “We’re optimistic that this growth will continue as institutions race to advance integration with the crypto industry.”

## Markets boosted by US regulations

“Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies surged as traders entered a risk-on mode due to bullish regulatory and institutional developments,” added Nassar Al Achkar, chief strategy officer at CoinW crypto exchange.

> “The passing of the GENIUS Act and Trump’s plan to open the US retirement market to crypto investments could unlock trillions in institutional capital.”
