A big part of this is Bitcoin rallying, but also a lot of other cryptocurrencies are up 50-150% this week. Ethereum, the second largest, is up 61%. Stellar notably has jumped up 164%.
The rally appears to have been prompted by regulatory guidance allowing banks to transact in stablecoins, as the biggest winners have been blockchains that participate in that space.
