Some major altcoins have also started riding the bullish wave alongside Bitcoin. Solana (SOL), the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has also surged to a new record high of $262. The token is up by roughly 27% on the weekly basis.
The SOL token is surging higher amid growing ETF buzz. On Tuesday, it was reported that there are ongoing talks between the SEC staff and issuers that are vying to launch a spot Solana ETF in the U.S. There is a "renewed sense of optimism" that such a product could be approved by the SEC next year. Now, exchanges are expected to submit 19b4 filings in the coming days.

David Cox, portfolio manager at Raymond James, has noted that Ether remains in a downtrend against Bitcoin despite its recent gains.
