As of October 1, the crypto market is seeing a mixed performance. While Bitcoin (BTC) faces a slight dip, altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP are experiencing volatile movements. However, the day’s standout performers are Bittensor (TAO) and SUI, with notable gains. The total crypto market cap has fallen by 0.77%, now sitting at $2.25 trillion. Interestingly, total trading volume surged by 38.6%, reaching $80.68 billion. Let’s explore the top-performing cryptocurrencies and how they’re standing out in today’s market.
Volatility Hits BTC and Altcoins
After recently testing the $66,000 mark, Bitcoin has slid to $63,000, triggering concerns among investors. The price fluctuated between $62,873 and $64,701 within the day. Despite this pullback, Bitcoin saw $61.30 million in inflows to spot ETFs, according to Sosovalue data. In addition, Japan-based company Metaplanet purchased 107.91 BTC, fueling speculation of a potential rally in October.
Similarly, Ethereum and Solana are facing their own price fluctuations. Ethereum showed a modest 0.2% increase, trading at $2,636, with lows of $2,576 and highs of $2,643 during the day. Whale Alert reported that significant amounts of Ethereum have been transferred to exchanges like Coinbase, raising questions about potential sell-offs.
Solana, on the other hand, experienced a 0.7% drop and is currently trading at $155. The asset’s daily price range varied from $151 to $157. Despite this decline, Solana’s market cap remains steady at $72.59 billion.
