The crypto market is off to a robust start in 2026. Fresh capital inflow has pushed the overall digital asset market cap up by $120 billion in just the opening weeks. We're now sitting at approximately $3.05 trillion in total market capitalization — a significant milestone that underscores the sustained momentum across the sector. This surge reflects growing investor confidence and renewed interest in cryptocurrencies. The scale of capital movement tells the story: institutional players and retail traders alike are positioning themselves as we head deeper into the year. Whether this momentum can sustain remains a question worth watching, but the numbers speak for themselves right now.

On-chain data shows that this wave of entry is indeed interesting, but the 12 billion figure depends on the flow... Whether it's real institutional funds or futures speculation, it's two different things. Based on past experience, such rapid surges usually start to falter after a certain contract change, and monitoring indicates we need to observe for a few more days.

3 trillion? Let's see if I can hold until the end of the year; this wave of increase is too rapid.
