<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">Projects related to artificial intelligence, meme coins, dog-themed coins, and cat-themed coins are reviving interest in altcoin projects. The altcoin sector continues to revive as investors maintain their interest in such crypto assets during a period when <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/bitcoins-surge-to-120000-analyst-predicts-massive-price-movement-by-2024/" data-wpel-link="internal">Bitcoin</a> reached its all-time high of $72,000.</p> 
<h2 class="p1" style="text-align: justify" id="intense-investor-interest-in-altcoin-projects">Intense Investor Interest in Altcoin Projects</h2> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">Analysts at the cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex have reported in their latest weekly reports that investor interest in altcoin projects has diversified towards meme coins and artificial intelligence (AI) projects. The increased interest in altcoins is also reflected in the market value of the Total3 Index, which tracks the price performance of all cryptocurrencies excluding Bitcoin and <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/ethereum-exhibits-resilience-amid-market-fluctuations/" data-wpel-link="internal">Ethereum</a>.</p> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">Last week, the index’s market value hovered around $640 billion, but this figure surpassed $700 billion, reaching a new peak of $720 billion for the first time in this cycle. Although the index’s market value is 33% below the all-time high of $960.78 billion recorded in November 2021, it has come a long way from the bear market levels of $450 billion, indicating significant growth in altcoin interest and investment.</p>

<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">AI-related projects, meme coins, dog-themed coins, and cat-themed coins are some of the driving forces behind the resurgence of altcoins. Bitfinex announced that meme coin and AI indices listed on Coingecko have increased by 32% and 38% respectively in the last seven days. In particular, cat-themed coins recorded a 64% gain last week, registering a cumulative market value of over $750 million.</p> 
<h2 class="p1" style="text-align: justify" id="what-s-happening-in-the-altcoin-market">What’s Happening in the Altcoin Market?</h2> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">The increase in altcoin market value is associated with a rise in market activity on Ethereum, leading to higher transaction fees not seen in about two years. Last week, more than $190 million in fees were collected, putting the network’s fee revenue on track to exceed $10 billion annually.</p> 
<p class="p1" style="text-align: justify">Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s rise to $72,800 on March 11 could lead to significant liquidations for investors with long and short positions, as seen in previous attempts to surpass the asset’s all-time high of $69,000. Bitfinex warned that Bitcoin investors might face increasingly leveraged and volatile markets in the short term. The magnitude of the risk was demonstrated on March 5, when Bitcoin surged to $69,000 before dropping to about $59,000 within four hours, triggering $1.18 billion in long and short liquidations.</p>
