Crypto Market Valuation Nears $2 Trillion; Dogecoin Mimics 2020 Surge, MAGA Coin Rises, and SEC's Stance on Crypto Debated

Published February 23, 2024

The landscape of digital currencies is witnessing a remarkable surge as major players like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin are experiencing significant growth, with the entire crypto market on the verge of reaching a substantial $2 trillion market capitalization. Amidst this upward trajectory, the prominent social media platform Reddit has unveiled its investments in Bitcoin and Ethereum, coinciding with its preparations for a massive $5 billion initial public offering (IPO).

Crypto Resurgence Sparks Market Optimism

Analysts are observing Dogecoin with a keen interest as it showcases patterns reminiscing of its astonishing 2020 behavior, which previously led to a staggering 28,000% increase. There's growing speculation that another equivalent surge might be on the horizon. Concurrently, the cryptocurrency inspired by former President Trump's slogan, MAGA Coin, has jumped by 20%, potentially overshadowing both Dogecoin and Shiba Inu after Trump's recent softening stance on Bitcoin.

Regulatory Conversations Intensify

The crypto exchange Kraken is pushing back against a lawsuit from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), arguing that cryptocurrencies should be classified as commodities rather than securities. This argument highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the regulation and classification of digital assets — a topic that continues to gain significance as the market expands.

Meanwhile, in a seemingly unrelated yet noteworthy mention, the Biden campaign has connected former President Trump to Alabama's contentious ruling on in vitro fertilization (IVF) practices, although this has no direct bearing on the financial developments.
