Cryptocurrency Market Surges in May 2025: Bitcoin Breaks $105k as Altcoins Rally

by | May 11, 2025 - 14:51

Bitcoin Soars Past $105,000 Amid Macroeconomic Shifts

Bitcoin stunned markets this week by surging past $105,000, reaching levels not seen since late 2024. This rally coincides with renewed optimism in global markets following former U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of progress in U.S.-China trade negotiations. Analysts suggest the breakthrough could reduce economic uncertainty and drive capital into risk assets like cryptocurrencies.

The flagship cryptocurrency’s dominance rate – its share of total crypto market capitalization – has dipped to 45%, down from 52% in April. This decline historically signals impending altcoin rallies, as seen during similar conditions in Q4 2024. Technical indicators show Bitcoin could test $120,000-$130,000 by July if current momentum holds.

Ethereum Leads Altcoin Charge With 40% Weekly Gain

Ethereum has emerged as the altcoin leader, skyrocketing 40% in seven days to trade above $2,500. The surge comes ahead of Ethereum’s anticipated “Ultra Sound Money” upgrade, which promises enhanced scalability through advanced zero-knowledge proof integration. Network activity shows a 68% increase in daily active addresses compared to last month.

Other smart contract platforms are following Ethereum’s lead:

  • Solana (SOL): +29% weekly, $58.2B TVL
  • Sui (SUI): +41% weekly, $1.3B TVL
  • Avalanche (AVAX): +22% weekly, $12.8B TVL

Qubetics Presale Emerges as Top Altcoin Opportunity

The Qubetics ($TICS) presale has become May’s most talked-about crypto event, raising $18.7 million in its first phase. This layer-1 blockchain introduces novel consensus mechanisms combining proof-of-stake with AI-driven validation. Early investors gain access to:

Tier Minimum Investment Bonus
Silver $1,000 15% $TICS
Gold $5,000 25% $TICS
Platinum $25,000 40% $TICS

Binance Coin (BNB) continues dominating exchange tokens, with Binance Smart Chain processing 3.1 million daily transactions. Meanwhile, Dogecoin shows unusual stability at $0.17 despite typical volatility, with analysts watching for potential breakout patterns.

The total crypto market cap now stands at $3.31 trillion, up 1.62% daily. With stablecoin dominance declining and institutional inflows hitting $890 million weekly, analysts predict sustained bullish momentum through Q2 2025. As Bitcoin ETF volumes reach record highs, the stage appears set for a summer of crypto market expansion.
