Leading cryptocurrencies rose further on Monday as investors continued to rotate capital into risky assets.
Bitcoin extended its rally, hitting a new all-time highs past $126,000. Ethereum also reclaimed $4,700 late in the afternoon, but fell back to roughly $4,670 overnight.
XRP and Solana recorded modest gains. Altcoin Season was yet to start, according to the readings on the CMC Altcoin Season Index. 
Morgan Stanley’s latest wealth report advised clients to allocate only a small portion of their portfolios to cryptocurrency, up to 2% for conservative investors and up to 4% for those seeking higher growth.
Cryptocurrency liquidations, meanwhile, reached $328 million in the last 24 hours, with short liquidations accounting for the majority, according to Coinglass.
Bitcoin’s open interest rose further by 1.51% to $93.89 billion, while the majority Binance futures traders were positioned bearish, according to the Long/Short ratio.
Top Gainers (24 Hours) 
The global cryptocurrency market capitalization rose to $4.28 trillion, reflecting an increase of 1.76% in the last 24 hours.
Stocks continued their record-breaking run on Monday. The S&P 500 rose 0.36% to end at 6,740.28, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite closed up 0.71% at 22,941.67. Both indexes notched new closing highs.
The rally was supported by Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) surging over 23% following a landmark agreement with OpenAI to deploy up to 6 gigawatts of AMD Instinct GPU power for the tech giant’s AI infrastructure.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was the outlier, falling 63.31 points, or 0.14%, to close at 46,694.97. 
On-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant highlighted a sharp increase in U.S. M2 money supply over the past three years, with Bitcoin showing an "exceptionally high correlation" and rising 130%.
"If global liquidity continues to expand and the structural outflow from exchanges persists, Ethereum could realign with M2 growth and enter a new revaluation phase. In that scenario, $10,000 is far from unrealistic," CryptoQuant projected.
Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ted Pillows said Ethereum and Bitcoin will pump like gold in the fourth quarter, referring to the yellow metal's uninterrupted 5-week rally.
"But as long as Gold is rallying like this, I’m a bit cautious on risk-on assets," Pillows added.

The major lotteries in the United States offer two jackpot payout options: annuity and cash.
The annuity option is paid out over time. There is an immediate payment and then 29 annual payments after that, increasing by 5% each year.

Crypto Price Prediction Today 6 October – XRP, Cardano, Pi Coin  Cryptonews

Strategy Stops Buying Bitcoin but Pays $140 Million in Dividends  99Bitcoins
source

The crypto market soared to an all-time high market cap of $4.27 trillion as Bitcoin (BTC) broke above $125,000 for the first time, lifting sentiment. XRP broke back above the psychological $3 level on Monday, October 6, as early Uptober sets the stage for a pivotal fourth quarter.
The anticipation of several key events has triggered an XRP recovery from the September 22 low of $2.6919. Notably, the combination of multiple Fed rate cuts in the fourth quarter and the US government shutdown have driven demand. The ongoing shutdown could prompt a more dovish Fed policy stance, raising demand for risk assets.
BTC, Ethereum (ETHETH), and Solana (SOL) have outperformed XRP in the current market breakout, given strong institutional demand through spot ETFs.
Pro-crypto lawyer Bill Morgan commented on XRP trailing the trio in the absence of an XRP-spot ETF market, stating:
“XRP is up but struggling to stay above $3 even though Bitcoin has reached another ATH. Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to enjoy a market advantage of spot ETFs having been approved while the SEC delays approving other altcoin ETFs. How long can the delay of spot XRP ETFs continue?”
Morgan also highlighted the performance of XRP against the US dollar, ETH, and BTC, underscoring the comparative strength of BTC, ETH, and SOL against XRP.
For the current month, XRP/BTC and XRP/ETH are down 3.85% and 7.12%, respectively, with SOL/XRP up 7.41%. Meanwhile, XRP has gained 5.38% against the US dollar.
Despite trailing BTC, ETH, and SOL, XRP could potentially outperform the three cryptos in October. Four XRP price catalysts include:
Although the Senate failed to pass the stopgap bill, approval could follow once funding resumes. XRP-spot ETFs may open the floodgates for Main Street investors looking for a crypto asset with real-world utility.
Given how ETF flows have driven BTC, ETH, and SOL higher, similar demand for XRP-spot ETFs could send the token to new highs. Standard Chartered Bank previously predicted XRP could break above $5 by December 2025 and climb to $12.5 by 2028.
For context, BTC has soared 169% since January 11, 2024, the first day of trading for US BTC-spot ETFs. A similar XRP-spot ETF trajectory would take XRP above $5.
However, XRP would likely also benefit from Ripple receiving a banking license, crypto legislation, increasing demand for Ripple’s XRPL, and global remittances.
Speculation has intensified over Ripple obtaining a US banking license since the public comment period ended. Meanwhile, updates on the Market Structure Bill continue to bolster sentiment despite the US government shutdown.
Crypto America host Eleanor Terrett shared the latest updates on the Market Structure Bill, stating:
“Senator Cory Booker has stepped in to lead bipartisan discussions on a crypto market structure draft for Democrats on the Senate Ag Committee, taking over from Ranking Member Senator Amy Klobuchar, according to several people familiar with the discussions. These talks are ongoing between Booker’s staff and Chairman John Boozman’s team, the people said. It remains unclear when a draft might be released. Booker, one of the senators from New Jersey, has long supported balanced crypto regulation and giving the CFTC greater authority over digital commodities.”
XRP soared 14.69% in response to the US House of Representatives passing the Market Structure Bill to the Senate. BTC gained just 0.39%, reflecting XRP’s sensitivity to US crypto legislation.
XRP advanced 0.68% on Monday, October 6, following the previous day’s 0.02% gain, closing at $2.9905. The token underperformed the broader market (1.68%) but briefly climbed above the psychological $3 level.
Traders are watching the following technical levels:
In the coming sessions, several key events could determine near-term price trends:
ETF flow trends, legislative headlines, banking license developments, and corporate demand for XRP as a treasury reserve asset will likely dictate price direction.
Bearish Scenario
These bearish scenarios could push the token below $2.8, potentially testing the $2.5 support level.
Bullish Scenario
These bullish scenarios could drive the token toward $3.1. A sustained move through $3.1 would enable the bulls to target $3.3 and the all-time high of $3.66.
On Monday, October 6, the US Senate failed to pass a stopgap funding bill for the sixth time. The Republicans’ bill failed by a 52-42 vote, while the Democrats’ bill failed in a 45-55 vote. 60 votes are needed to pass a bill. Despite the failed votes, reports of President Trump being willing to negotiate with the Democrats could boost optimism.
The SEC may green-light the spot ETFs soon after the US government reopens.
Analysts will closely monitor how regulatory risks influence XRP’s price outlook in the coming weeks.
