The cryptocurrency market is experiencing mixed movements today, with Bitcoin (BTC) declining and XRP leading a significant surge. Despite an overall market decline, certain altcoins, like FTX Token (FTT), are also seeing major gains. Meanwhile, the total market cap has dropped by 1.86%, reaching $2.26 trillion, but trading volume has surged 17.81%, hitting $58.31 billion. Let’s take a closer look at today’s market activity.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Face a Tough Day
Bitcoin continues to slide, with a 2% drop bringing the price to $64,462. Despite the significant $1.11 billion inflow into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, the market still failed to rally, likely influenced by external economic factors like the Nikkei 225’s 4.5% drop. Currently, Bitcoin’s market cap stands at $1.27 trillion.
Ethereum (ETH) also followed a similar trend, dropping 2% to $2,625. Notably, a wallet linked to Vitalik Buterin made significant ETH sales, contributing to market uncertainty. Ethereum’s market cap has decreased to $316.41 billion as a result.
XRP Defies the Trend, Surging Against the Market

While Bitcoin and Ethereum stumbled, XRP stood out by surging 5.5% to $0.6452. Whale Alert revealed that a major investor accumulated 31 million XRP from the Upbit exchange, boosting its market momentum. XRP’s market cap now sits at $36.53 billion, marking a significant upward movement despite the general market conditions.
Solana and Other Notable Market Moves
Solana (SOL) also faced volatility, slipping by 1% to $156. However, its trading volume spiked by 54%, reaching $2.06 billion. On the winning side, FTX Token (FTT) soared by over 60%, reaching $2.27, marking one of the day’s top performers. Additionally, Mina (MINA) and Popcat (POPCAT) saw notable gains, while Notcoin (NOT) and THORChain (RUNE) were among the day’s biggest losers.
With market movements remaining unpredictable, The Bit Journal advises investors to stay cautious and perform their own research, as volatility continues to dominate the cryptocurrency space.
