Despite the untested bullish rally, some cryptocurrencies have surprisingly recorded and set their new all-time highs (ATH) at the start of 2023. Significantly, Aptos (APT) and Optimism (OP) are the cryptos that have contributed their new records to the market’s positive sentiment. According to Coingecko, on January 22, APT set its new ATH at $14.47 and OP at $2.46. 

Notably, Aptos (APT), a native L1 proof-of-stake (PoS) cryptocurrency, holds a track of being one of the cryptos that attained significant surges in the initial launch days. Previously, APT recorded its first ATH at $13.73. This cryptocurrency was created and launched by former Meta engineers in mid-October 2022. 

Besides APT and OP, Axie Infinity (AXS) established itself as the top gainer of the day and recorded its 3-month high. The price of AXS had its 42% spike in the last 24 hours. Also, Osmosis (OSMO), Flow (FLOW), and STEPN (GMT) exhibited a price surge of over 15% in a day.

Crypto Market’s Short-Term Bull Rally Confirmed?

Last week, the market bulls boosted the dominant cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), to attain its 90-day high at the $23,000 level. At the time of writing, as per Coingecko, BTC traded at $22,789. Similarly, various other altcoins exhibited price surges. Altogether, this brief bullish trend influenced a hike in the crypto market’s value.
