Why Altcoins Were On Fire Again Today
The great crypto rally of late 2024 continued to barrel on over the weekend and well into Monday. With little to halt or even slow their trajectory, coins and tokens continued to vault well higher in value as the work week began.
Over that stretch of time, it almost seemed as if any crypto play was a winner. Meme tokens were particularly sprightly, with Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) racing nearly 48% ahead from market close Friday to late afternoon Monday and Pepe (CRYPTO: PEPE) adding 23%. Some of the more "serious" cryptos were also on a serious run; Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA) was enjoying an almost 40% pop while Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) was up by almost 11%.
Predictably, the foundation of this rally is the follow-the-leader nature of the cryptosphere. And that leader is really on a tear -- I'm talking of course about Bitcoin.
