The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a dynamic period, with major shifts in both gains and losses. While Bitcoin faces a slight dip, altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, and Solana are seeing notable gains ranging from 3% to 5%. These developments have caught the attention of investors, sparking both opportunities and uncertainties.
Bitcoin Takes a Hit: Current Price and Market Trends
Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $93,984, marking a 1% decline in the last 24 hours. Its intraday low hit $92,526, while the high reached $96,545. Bitcoin’s market cap has risen to $1.86 trillion, with a trading volume of $62 billion. However, its market dominance has dropped to 56.52%, raising eyebrows.
Adding to the intrigue, data from SoSo Value indicates an outflow of $276 million from Bitcoin ETFs. Notable contributors include BlackRock, with a $72 million outflow, and Ark & 21Shares leading with $87 million. Meanwhile, Fidelity and Grayscale followed suit with $71 million and $57 million, respectively. Despite this, MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, purchased 15,350 BTC last week, reinforcing its long-term commitment to Bitcoin.
Ethereum and XRP Surge Ahead
Ethereum (ETH) has surged by 4%, reaching $3,383. With a market cap of $407 billion and a trading volume of $32 billion, Ethereum’s dominance now stands at 12.35%. Despite a $75 million outflow from Ethereum ETFs, large-scale whale activity has bolstered investor confidence. Significant withdrawals from Binance have further solidified trust in Ethereum’s potential.
XRP, on the other hand, has climbed by 4% to trade at $2.23. It hit an intraday low of $2.141 and a high of $2.271. Boasting a market cap of $127 billion and a trading volume of $8.99 billion, XRP remains a top contender. Analysts predict a potential 60% price increase, driven by the upcoming RLUSD stablecoin launch and anticipation surrounding XRP ETF approval.
Solana and Meme Coins on the Rise
Solana (SOL) has seen a 5% increase, trading at $188. Its lowest and highest prices for the day were $179 and $193, respectively. With a market cap of $90 billion and a trading volume of $4.63 billion, Solana is gaining traction among investors. Weekly whale inflows of $1.7 million signal a strong recovery trajectory, providing optimism for its future.
Meme coins are also stealing the spotlight. Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) have risen by 4%, trading at $0.3195 and $0.00002219, respectively. BONK’s planned burn of 1 trillion tokens has captured attention, with a target price of $0.11. These developments continue to fuel interest in meme-based cryptocurrencies.
Top Gainers and Losers of the Day
Leading today’s winners is VIRTUAL Protocol, soaring by 35% to trade at $3. Zcash (ZEC) and AAVE have also posted impressive gains, climbing by 20% to $64.96 and 19% to $377, respectively. Conversely, BitTorrent (BTT) recorded the worst performance, with a 2% decline.
