Just a few hours ago, it surpassed the milestone of $125,000 and reached a new all-time high of approximately $125,500 (according to CoinGecko&#8217;s data). Shortly after, it slightly retraced to its current value of $125,000.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1415289\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1415289\" style=\"width: 1037px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/BTC-Price-3.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1415289\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTC Price, Source: CoinGecko<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The impressive rally could be attributed to several bullish factors, suggesting that the upward momentum may persist in the coming weeks and months, potentially leading to even greater gains.<\/p>\n<p>Among those is the seasonal optimism that usually accompanies &#8220;Uptober&#8221; and the declining supply of BTC stored on crypto exchanges. Recently, the amount of coins held on such platforms plummeted to a seven-year low of less than 2.5 million, signaling that investors are not currently focused on profit-taking but are instead moving their holdings to self-custody methods &#8211; a trend that reduces immediate selling pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, BTC&#8217;s market capitalization soared above $2.5 trillion &#8211; the highest point ever. Its dominance over the altcoins stands at around 55%.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"zec-on-the-run\">ZEC on the Run<\/h2>\n<p>The leading altcoins, including Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Dogecoin (DOGE), have followed BTC&#8217;s pump by registering daily price increases in the range of 2-3%.<\/p>\n<p>ZCash (ZEC) has posted a much more impressive gain of over 20%. Its price is up a whopping 190% on a weekly scale and now trades at roughly $160.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Avalanche (AVAX), Cronos (CRO), Internet Computer (ICP), and Worldcoin (WLD) have registered minor declines. \u00a0The total market capitalization of the sector has spiked by 1.5% and stands at over $4.35 trillion.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1415290\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1415290\" style=\"width: 1857px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Quantify-1.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1415290 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Quantify-1.png\" alt=\"Cryptocurrency Market Overview, Source: QuantifyCrypto\" width=\"1857\" height=\"793\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1415290\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cryptocurrency Market Overview, Source: QuantifyCrypto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-btc-explodes-to-a-fresh-ath-zcash-zec-soars-by-20-daily-weekend-watch\/\">Bitcoin (BTC) Explodes to a Fresh ATH, ZCash (ZEC) Soars by 20% Daily (Weekend Watch)<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-btc-explodes-to-a-fresh-ath-zcash-zec-soars-by-20-daily-weekend-watch\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The bulls remain in charge of the cryptocurrency market with numerous leading digital assets registering additional increases.
