Crypto Markets Today Bitcoin Breaks 119K as Altcoins Surge Traders Eye Record Highs

Crypto traders were in a jubilant mood on Thursday morning as bitcoin zoomed above $119,000, setting its sights on a new record high.
The altcoin market also heated up; tokens like monero (XMR) and aptos (APT) posted double-digit gains while zcash (ZEC) continued Wednesday’s surge with a 58% move in the past 24 hours to $143.
The catalyst for crypto’s rise was a mixture of ETF inflows, gold’s rise and general positive sentiment towards risk assets.
