Today, the cryptocurrency market displayed a mixed performance, sparking speculation among global investors. While Bitcoin (BTC) managed to hold around the $60,000 level, other major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP experienced declines. The global crypto market cap dropped by 1%, settling at $2.11 trillion, while overall market volume fell by 19.86% to $93.11 billion. These developments have increased uncertainty in the market. Let’s take a closer look.
Bitcoin and Ethereum Price Movements
Despite Bitcoin hovering at $60,765 today, it experienced a slight 0.16% decrease over the last 24 hours. BTC’s daily low was $59,996, with a high of $62,357. Additionally, BTC ETF outflows amounted to $91.76 million as of October 3rd, further intensifying market volatility. Bitcoin’s dominance in the market decreased by 0.57% to 56.80%, while its total market value reached $1.21 trillion. These factors suggest that Bitcoin remains highly susceptible to global market fluctuations.
On the other hand, Ethereum saw a slight recovery, returning to $2,397. Throughout the day, ETH’s lowest point was $2,353, while it peaked at $2,491. Ethereum’s market cap fell to $288.24 billion. Interestingly, there was a $14.45 million inflow into spot Ethereum ETFs, adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing market uncertainty. This volatility has led investors to question the long-term effects on Ethereum and its future price movements.
Solana, XRP, and Meme Coin Performance

Solana (SOL) saw a 3% drop, falling to $142 today. The lowest it reached during the day was $138.92, while its highest point was $148.83, placing its market cap at $66.73 billion. Similarly, XRP suffered a more significant drop, plunging by over 10% to $0.546. XRP’s daily range saw a low of $0.5256 and a high of $0.6044. Both Solana and XRP are closely following the overall trend of the crypto market.
Meme coins followed suit, with Dogecoin (DOGE) falling by 2% to $0.106, while Shiba Inu (SHIB) dropped 0.09% to $0.0000167. Other meme coins such as PEPE, WIF, and BONK experienced declines of 4% to 8% over the last 24 hours. The increased market volatility has made meme coins more reactive, raising additional uncertainty among investors.
Today’s Crypto Winners and Losers
Among the day’s winners, Flare (FLR) and Aptos (APT) stood out. FLR surged by 14% to $0.01689, and Aptos rose by 8% to $8.21. In contrast, Wormhole (W) dropped by 8%, falling to $0.3453. Meanwhile, BEAM, Ethena (ENA), and EigenLayer (EIGEN) topped the list of losers, with BEAM down 16% at $0.01616, ENA decreasing by 15% to $0.3057, and EIGEN losing 15% to trade at $3.46. These winners and losers highlight the growing uncertainty across the crypto market.
