On Oct. 3, bitcoin ( BTC) came close to breaching the $124,000 mark, fueled by growing optimism around the “Upctober” narrative sweeping through the crypto economy. According to Bitstamp data, BTC peaked at $123,966 before pulling back to settle just below $122,000 by 3:00 p.m. EST. The rally, which began at the start of the month, has reignited hopes of a year-end push toward a new all-time high (ATH).

While bitcoin’s near-breakout dominated headlines, Binance Coin ( BNB) stole the show with a powerful surge to a new ATH of $1,173, according to Coinmarketcap. BNB jumped 9% on the day—the largest gain among major altcoins—bringing its weekly rise to 20% and pushing its market capitalization past $162 billion. Since trading just above $550 on April 8, BNB has more than doubled in value and now appears poised to challenge USDT for the fourth spot among top digital assets.

Other high-cap altcoins saw mixed performance. Ethereum ( ETH) edged up 0.4% in 24 hours to surpass $4,500 for the first time since September 19, with a 7-day gain of 12%. XRP declined 1.6% on the day but remained 10% higher over the week. SOL, DOGE, and AVAX posted marginal gains, while HYPE, LINK, and XLM each slipped by roughly 1%.

Meanwhile, the broader crypto economy reached a new milestone as total market capitalization climbed past $4.3 trillion. Year-to-date, the sector has grown by more than 26%, underscoring renewed investor confidence and momentum across digital assets.
