Bitcoin extended its gains to around 137,000,000 KRW, with the dollar price clearing $93,164 as global risk assets advanced despite geopolitical uncertainties. As of the sixth, domestic price stood at 134,980,000 KRW and overseas price at $93,164, underscoring a broad, cross-asset upside driven by improving sentiment.
Altcoins joined the rally, with Ripple moving from about 2,700 KRW to above 3,000 and then to roughly 3,400. Ethereum advanced from 4,340,000 KRW to higher levels, crossing 4,400,000 and 4,700,000, while Solana hovered near 180,000 KRW before touching 200,000. Meme coins also surged, with Solana-based Ponk up more than 143% after midnight, and Dogecoin rising 23.86%, Pet Penguin 44.94%, and Bonk 54.4%.
Tom Lee of Fundstrat Global Advisors has suggested Bitcoin could reach a new all-time high by month-end, arguing that volatility may persist but the upside trend remains intact and the rally could intensify into the second half. The forecast follows late-year market retrenchment, though some caution remains. The fear-and-greed index stood at 44, reflecting investor anxiety that could spark sharp moves despite the optimistic outlook.
