The cryptocurrency market has experienced significant gains following the announcement of Gary Gensler's resignation as SEC Chair. Major altcoins have surged, with Stellar (XLM) gaining nearly 194.5%, Cardano (ADA) rising 45.1%, and XRP increasing by 23%. Cardano has reached a price of $1.08, its highest level in over two years, fueled by a 150% annual increase and substantial accumulation by whale investors. The overall crypto market capitalization has hit a record $3.5 trillion, with a $230 billion increase, as Bitcoin's dominance fell below 60%. Dogecoin (DOGE) also saw notable activity, peaking at $0.47, marking a three-year high before retracting to around $0.40. Analysts predict continued volatility in the market as meme coins, including DOGE, experience fluctuations alongside Bitcoin's performance.
