Bitcoin price smashed through a new all-time high of $124,128, gaining 3.58% in the past 24 hours. Its market cap now sits at $2.457 trillion, overtaking Alphabet to become the fifth-largest asset in the world, behind only gold, Apple, Microsoft, and Saudi Aramco. This surge has traders scanning for the next crypto to explode, as capital begins to rotate across the market.
