In July, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization showed an accelerated upward trend, with the total market cap breaking through $4 trillion in late July. A key factor driving this increase is the growing expectation of Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in 2025. All of the top 8 cryptocurrencies by market cap saw gains this month, with ETH emerging as the best-performing token in July, surging over 50% in a single month. While BTC also achieved a gain of nearly 10%, it underperformed other mainstream cryptocurrencies.

Gate Research’s latest publication, “Gate Research: July Crypto Market Review,” summarizes and analyzes July’s market performance, on-chain data, trending developments, funding activity, security incidents, and upcoming events, offering in-depth insights into the overall performance of the crypto market and key industry trends.
