The crypto market is witnessing a massive influx of funds as investors and traders rush to buy cryptocurrencies amid a bullish frenzy.
According to crypto analyst Ali, around $48.54 billion is flowing into the crypto market, the highest capital inflow since October 2021.
Ali uploaded a Glassnode chart showing the "aggregate market realized value net position change" to back up this assertion. On March 2, positive 30-day capital inflows in USD totaled $48.541 billion. Bitcoin and Ethereum's net position change in USD is $43.57 billion. The graph from the chart shows that the market hovers near these figures at the moment.

Bitcoin reached $65,614 — its highest level since November 2021 — and has risen 6.14% in the last 24 hours to $65,407.

Since the launch of U.S. Bitcoin ETFs, some of the biggest names, including BlackRock Inc. and Fidelity Investments, have invested a net of $7.35 billion.

PEPE, a frog-themed cryptocurrency, increased by 66% during the same period, while BONK, Fantom (FTM), FLOKI and Dogwifhat (WIF) increased by 58%, 27%, 34% and 16%, respectively.
