Ether-Led Rally Pushed Crypto Market Cap to $3.7T in July: JPMorgan

The crypto market staged a sharp rebound in July, with total market capitalization climbing 14% from the previous month to $3.7 trillion, Wall Street bank JPMorgan (JPM) said in a research report Thursday.

Average market cap rose 12% in the same period, driven by broad-based gains across tokens, decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and exchange-traded products (ETPs), but ether (ETH) stole the spotlight, the report said.

JPMorgan attributed the move partly to the Ethereum blockchain’s dominant role in stablecoin issuance and growing institutional flows into ETH-linked products.

U.S. spot ether ETPs saw a record $5.4 billion in net inflows, lifting total ETH ETP assets to $21.5 billion, JPMorgan said. Bitcoin (BTC) spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) added $6 billion, bringing their combined assets under management to $152 billion.

Trading activity accelerated, with average daily volumes across the ecosystem jumping 49% in July, the bank noted. CoinDesk data showed token volumes rising 51% MoM. Ether token volumes surged 60%, four times bitcoin’s 15% increase. DeFi and NFT markets also logged significant volume growth.

JPMorgan pointed to the passage of the GENIUS Act, a growing roster of crypto-linked initial public offerings (IPOs), and deepening partnerships between traditional finance and decentralized finance as key drivers behind the rally.

The bank said these factors, alongside a broader risk-on sentiment in global markets, suggest the recent gains in prices and volumes could prove sustainable.
