The virtual asset market is continuing its bullish trend into the start of the week. Bitcoin has surpassed $83,000 and is approaching the $84,000 level, while major altcoins such as Ethereum and Ripple are also rising across the board.

■ Bitcoin Rises 4.56% in 24 Hours

As of 6:07 p.m. on the 21st Korean time, Bitcoin was trading at $83,941.55 according to CoinMarketCap, up 2.51% from an hour earlier and 4.56% from 24 hours ago.

Ethereum rose 4.78% over 24 hours to $2,699.66, while Binance Coin (BNB) climbed 4.32% to $781.12.

■ Altcoin Gains Widen... Dogecoin Soars 8.10%

Altcoin gains are also notable. Ripple (XRP) jumped 7.18% from the previous day to $1.47, and Solana rose 6.68% to $115.36. Dogecoin climbed 8.10% to $0.09174, showing a relatively large gain among major coins.

In addition, Zcash rose 5.26% to $1,516.25, and Hyperliquid gained 5.33% to $95.45. Tron rose a relatively modest 0.76% to $0.3441.

■ Focus on Whether Investment Sentiment Spreads to Altcoins

The market is watching whether investment sentiment will spread to major altcoins as Bitcoin continues its approach toward $84,000. However, given the high price volatility of virtual assets, their movements following the recent sharp rally also warrant close attention.
