Casper and Floki went parabolic as its volume in exchanges jumped. Data by CoinGecko shows that the volume of CSPR traded on Tuesday rose to over $79.8 million. This was a dramatic increase since the daily volume has mostly been below $6 million in the past few months. Before that, the biggest increase happened on November 30th when it jumped to $11.5 million.

Similarly, the daily traded volume for Floki Inu rose to over $125 million on Tuesday, up from $32 million on Monday. It has averaged less than $20 million in the past few months.

The ongoing surge is notable because Floki and Casper Network have not made any headlines on Tuesday. Therefore, the rally is because of the ongoing pump as investors cheer the performance of Bitcoin, the biggest cryptocurrency in the world. Bitcoin jumped to over $42,200 on Monday as hopes of a spot Bitcoin ETF and Federal Reserve cuts rose.

Historically, a Bitcoin surge usually triggers gains in the altcoin industry. For example, most tokens like Cardano, Shiba Inu, and Dogecoin reached their record highs in 2021 when Bitcoin rose to a record high of almost $68,000.

For starters, Casper Network is a layer-1 network that aims to become a good alternative to existing networks like Ethereum and Solana. The network’s ecosystem is still quite small compared to other networks. They include platforms like MetaCask, Wise.Art, and DMusic.Floki Inu, on the other hand, started as a meme coin but later on expanded its ecosystem to include a DeFi platform with over $11.62 million in Total Value Locked (TVL). It also has a play-to-earn NFT metaverse known as Valhalla,  its own NFT collection, and FlokiPlaces, an NFT marketplace.
