The crypto market rallied as the market capitalization beat the $1 trillion mark with major cryptocurrencies trading in green on October 5, reported by CoinGecko. Among the cryptos recording gains were Bitcoin, Ethereum, and meme coins like Shiba Inu and Dogecoin.
The most popular cryptocurrency, Bitcoin hit its highest since September 13 at $20,469 on the Bitstamp Exchange, while other altcoins including Ethereum and XRP also soared.
However, the most trending cryptocurrency today is the Santos FC Fan Token. While today’s highest gainer was Elrond, up by 7.5% at $52.83, Terra Classic lost 6.9% in 24 hours, trading at $0.0003109.

In addition, a 75 basis points hike in the short-term investment rate is anticipated by the US Federal Reserve fourth time in a row.
