Altcoins are leading the charge today as total crypto market capitalization hits $3.68 trillion, while Bitcoin remains limited.
The best-performing digital asset over the past 24 hours is Tron (TRX), which has soared a monumental 70% to hit an all-time high of $0.431 during early trading on Wednesday in Asia.
This has pushed TRX’s market capitalization past $30 billion as the asset bids for a top ten position.

Additionally, TRX prices have more than doubled over the past week, going from less than $0.20 to current levels. The asset had started to pull back at the time of writing and was trading at $0.374, according to CoinGecko.
“Tron (TRX) breakout offers a serious glimmer of optimism for the rest of the market,” commented ‘Blockchain Backer’ to his 306,000 X followers on December 4th.
“It was one of the most currencies that failed to set a new all-time high in 2021. But able to surpass 2021 and 2018 with this move. If that doesn’t excite you, it should.”
Until today, TRX’s previous ATH was $0.231, almost seven years ago in January 2018.

“I thought this would hit a new ATH in 2025,” added ‘Kingpin Crypto’ before declaring: “Justin Sun absolutely crushed it this year.”
Tron’s founder commented that six years later, the network was still here and still under construction.

Justin Sun has been splashing the cash recently, announcing that he had become the largest investor in Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial crypto project after investing $30 million in WLFI tokens on November 25th.
He also spent $6.2 million on an artwork consisting of a banana stuck to a wall on November 21.
Binance Coin ATH
Tron is the only token to hit an all-time high today, as Binance Coin (BNB) surged more than 20% to an all-time high of $771.60 during early trading in Asia on December 4. The company celebrated the milestone with a post on X.

BNB prices fell sharply in June 2022 after the SEC lawsuit against the company.
Other current double-digit movers include crypto stalwarts IOTA and EOS, which surged 40% and 30% respectively. However, both remain well below their all-time highs.
