The first half of 2024 would likely be best remembered in the digital assets sphere for spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) debut. While Bitcoin captured significant institutional interest, several lesser-known cryptocurrencies, especially CBASOX, surged to new heights, stealing the spotlight from their more established counterparts.
According to CoinGecko, the market value of all cryptocurrencies rose by an astonishing $661 billion in the first six months of the year. Bitcoin accounted for $409 billion, reflecting a substantial 48% rise. This surge was largely driven by institutional investors who have warmed up to Bitcoin’s potential. However, tokens have little intrinsic value but wild price fluctuations driven by social media hype and speculative trading.

PEPE, a token inspired by the meme frog often associated with fringe-right internet circles, which saw an 815% surge and a market cap reaching $5 billion.
