The cryptocurrency market remains optimistic despite recent volatility, with Bitcoin and Ethereum continuing their upward trends, while some altcoins show signs of a downturn. As reported by The Bit Journal, market watchers are keeping a close eye on the potential impact of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s crypto-friendly stance.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Lead the Market with Gains
Bitcoin saw a modest 1% increase in the last 24 hours, trading at $75,851. Throughout the day, it fluctuated between $74,480 and $76,943, reaching a market cap of $1.5 trillion and capturing 60.52% of the overall market share. This rise is largely attributed to the recent influx of $1.3 billion in spot Bitcoin ETF investments, strengthening Bitcoin’s price action and market position.
Similarly, Ethereum has gained 1.5%, climbing to $2,902, with daily highs and lows of $2,954 and $2,781, respectively. Ethereum’s market cap has reached $349.39 billion. Whale Alert data reveals significant trading activity from large investors, both buying and selling, underscoring the market’s high interest in Ethereum’s price movements.
Altcoins Show Mixed Results
Solana has emerged as a standout, rallying 5% in the last day to hit $199, trading within a range of $186 to $201. Solana’s market cap reached $93.72 billion, with analysts pointing to its performance metrics, which in some cases exceed Ethereum’s, as a reason for continued investor interest.
On the other hand, XRP experienced a 1% dip, trading at $0.5512. Its daily low and high stood at $0.542 and $0.56, respectively. Despite this decrease, market optimism remains, as speculation grows around a potential XRP ETF, particularly in light of Trump’s favorable crypto policies.
Meme Coins Deliver Mixed Performances
Dogecoin posted a 1.8% increase, trading at $0.1973, while Shiba Inu rose 0.09% to $0.000019. Another meme token, Pepe coin, surged over 3% to $0.00001091. However, not all meme coins fared well. WIF fell by 2%, dropping to $2.34, showing that meme coins continue to deliver unpredictable results.
Top Performers and Decliners of the Day
Today’s top gainer, Neiro, soared by 22%, reaching $0.002443. Cardano also performed well with a 15% gain, climbing to $0.4282. Conversely, Lido DAO saw an 8% loss, dropping to $1.27, while MOG coin declined by 5%, trading at $0.00000211.
As the crypto market continues to navigate shifts in investor sentiment and policy speculation, The Bit Journal will monitor the evolving dynamics across both major cryptocurrencies and altcoins.
