The milestone has been reached as Bitcoin (BTC), the largest digital asset by market cap, continues to rally alongside smaller cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (ETH), XRP (XRP) and Solana (SOL). A leading index that tracks the price movements of major cryptocurrencies has risen 35% in the past month.
Ethereum is currently trading above $3,500, its highest level since the start of the year, while Bitcoin's price is back near $120,000. Crypto's market cap surpassed $3 trillion for the first time in November 2021, marking the peak of a pandemic-fueled rally driven by loose monetary policy and speculative mania.
Favorable Environment
Now, crypto has hit the $4 trillion milestone as investors turn bullish on digital assets amid a favorable political and regulatory environment under U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump's re-election has sparked investors' risk appetite as people bet on deregulatory crypto policies in Washington, D.C.
Investor spirits are especially high after the recent passage of the GENIUS Act cryptocurrency legislation in Congress. Some analysts say that the top for BTC is nowhere near, and a growing number of options traders are betting that Bitcoin's price will exceed $130,000 by Sept. 1 of this year.

Takeaways of US-Japan deal include potential gains for Trump, Ishiba and EU
(Reuters) -An emerging U.S.-Japanese trade deal could unlock major investment, avert a potential shock to the global economy and may deliver political wins for both U.S. President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, though many specifics of the agreement remain unclear. Here's a closer look at the early takeaways: * The deal stabilizes the global trade outlook by imposing a 15% tariff on Japanese goods — down from a threatened 25% — while Japan commits to investing $550 billion in the U.S. economy, a boost to U.S. jobs. It almost certainly averts a worst-case scenario for the Japanese economy. Moreover, if it signals that the balance of U.S. tariff rates are likely to settle in that range, Jefferies Chief Economist and Strategist for Europe Mohit Kumar said: "the world can live with 15% or so tariffs." * Trump gains some political capital ahead of November 2026 midterm elections by reinforcing his 'America First' trade stance and potentially bolstering his influence with industrial and agricultural constituencies while avoiding the market instability that loomed under earlier tariff threats. Still, not every U.S. constituency was happy with the announcement. The decision has angered the Detroit Three automakers, who still face a 25% levy on significant segments of their non-U.S. produced vehicles. * For Ishiba, the deal is a diplomatic and economic win amid domestic political turbulence. Just days earlier, Japan's ruling coalition lost its majority in upper house elections. * Analysts say the deal could serve as a benchmark for other economies negotiating with Washington, including the EU and China, both facing August tariff deadlines. * American exporters could gain broader access to Japan's markets, especially in autos and agriculture — sectors vital to U.S. economic growth. * Global financial markets are rallying led by automakers. Stocks of major Japanese firms surged following the announcement, and capital inflows are expected to continue as investors seek exposure to Japan's innovation-led growth. * Despite the investment commitments, the deal may not significantly reduce the U.S. trade deficit with Japan in the short term. Critics argue that without stronger enforcement mechanisms or structural reforms, the imbalance could persist. * A 15% tariff, though lower than the threatened 25%, still represents a significantly higher import tax for consumer goods, especially for cars and electronics, which are heavily imported to the U.S. from Japan. Yale Budget Lab last week estimated the overall average U.S. tariff rate under Trump's policy shifts has climbed to around 20% from between 2% and 3% prior to his return to the White House in January.
