Broader crypto prices extended their recent recovery into Friday, with most major altcoins logging strong gains after a weak start to the year.
But despite their year-end losses, most major altcoins were sitting on stellar gains through 2024, as investors bet that friendlier regulations under Trump will draw more capital into cryptos beyond Bitcoin.
World no.2 crypto Ethereum rose 4% to $3,604.19, while world no.3 crypto XRP rose 1.8% to $2.4511.
Solana rose over 5%, while Cardano over 12% and Polygon over 6%, while among meme tokens, Dogecoin added 11.6%.
