The cumulative <a href="https://news.todayq.com/crypto-market-eyes-2-trillion-mark-with-eth-etf-hopes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">digital asset market cap</a> surged by more than 4% over the last day.

Stablecoin market caps have grown significantly by adding $11.4 billion in the last four months. Data depicts that Whale wallets holding $5 million or more have accumulated 2.32% of the top six stablecoins in just four weeks.
The positive momentum in the crypto market has also impacted related stocks. Coinbase (COIN.O) share price recorded a surge of around 5%, while Riot Platforms and Marathon Digital were up by over 10% and 11%, respectively.
Ethereum, the biggest altcoin, also reaped the positives of BTC surge as ETH price jumped by 6% in the last 24 hours.
