Global Cryptocurrency Market Climbs Amid Renewed Optimism
The worldwide cryptocurrency market has witnessed a substantial surge, with its total market capitalization reaching an impressive $3.07 trillion. This growth, marked by a 0.4% increase over the past day, reflects the prevailing optimism among digital asset investors.
Impact of Presidential Directive on Crypto Market
The recent rally in the crypto market can be attributed to a significant directive by U.S. President Donald Trump, who has instructed the Presidential Working Group to focus on establishing a Crypto Strategic Reserve. This initiative has notably propelled Bitcoin (BTC) to new heights, energizing the broader market and fueling bullish sentiments.

Altcoins on the Rise: Litecoin (LTC) and Sui (SUI)
As enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies intensifies, several altcoins are gaining momentum, with Litecoin (LTC) and Sui (SUI) emerging as notable contenders. Both assets are on a promising trajectory towards achieving a $10 billion market cap by March, supported by increasing institutional interest and a robust ecosystem.
Litecoin (LTC): Poised for Growth
Currently valued at $114.24 with a market capitalization of $8.63 billion, Litecoin is well-positioned to hit the $10 billion mark soon. Anticipation surrounding a potential Litecoin ETF approval acts as a significant catalyst, particularly with Nasdaq’s recent filing of a 19b-4 application with the SEC for the CoinShares Litecoin ETF. With the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) classifying Litecoin as a commodity, the risk of intervention by the SEC is minimized, enhancing its attractiveness to institutional investors.
Further boosting this positive outlook, Litecoin’s derivatives market has experienced a remarkable surge, with trading volumes soaring by 225.80% to $3.10 billion. Despite a 6.13% decline in open interest to $561.06 million, the market maintains a bullish stance across major exchanges, with long positions prevailing. These dynamics suggest that Litecoin could rally towards $132, propelling its market cap beyond the $10 billion threshold.
Sui (SUI): A Rising Star
Sui is also on a promising path to reaching a $10 billion market cap, driven by robust institutional adoption and ecosystem growth. Despite the crypto market experiencing record outflows of $2.9 billion last week, Sui defied the trend by attracting $15.5 million in inflows, outperforming assets like XRP during the downturn.
The bullish outlook for Sui is further bolstered by a surge in its derivatives market activity, with trading volumes increasing by 98.04% to $2.17 billion, indicating growing investor interest. Although open interest dipped slightly by 2.63% to $583.44 million, the long/short ratios remain strongly bullish, with OKX showing a ratio of 3.07 and Binance SUI/USDT at 2.8052, favoring long positions.
Analysts’ technical projections are optimistic, suggesting that SUI could reach $6, reflecting its potential for further gains. A modest 8.5% increase to $3.15 could drive Sui’s market cap past the $10 billion mark. Should broader market conditions remain favorable, particularly with Bitcoin potentially climbing above $100,000, both Litecoin and Sui are likely to achieve their $10 billion market cap targets by March.
