The cryptocurrency market surged Thursday, extending the rise sparked by the Federal Reserve’s first interest rate cut in more than four years.

The rally was spearheaded by popular dog-themed memecoin Shiba Inu , which spiked more than 20% in the last 24 hours, touching levels not seen since mid-June.

Don’t Miss:

What happened :  The latest uptick expanded SHIB's year-to-date gains to 85%, beating coins with higher market capitalizations like Bitcoin and Dogecoin .

But a year ago, things weren't this hunky-dory. The canine coin struggled during the cryptocurrency bear market, losing 90% of its value from all-time highs.

Exactly a year ago, SHIB was priced at $0.000007256. So, $1,000 invested in the memecoin then, would have fetched 137,816,979 SHIBs.

Today, the value of this stash is worth $2621.27, indicating a 162% increase.

Why It Matters: Since the announcement of the 0.5% rate cut last week , the total cryptocurrency market cap has increased from $2.21 trillion to $2.3 trillion as of this writing.

Over the last 24 hours, Bitcoin climbed to $65,000 for the first time since Aug. 1, with spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to the cryptocurrency recording five consecutive days of net inflows since the Fed's decision.

Analysts at investment management firm Bernstein said last week that r ate cuts could rekindle cryptocurrency credit markets and boost sectors like decentralized finance (DeFi).
