Bitcoin holds near highs as crypto traders stay active
The crypto complex rises on the day even as total market cap slips slightly.
Bitcoin gains 1.4% to 78762.0 and Ethereum rises 2.3% to 2473.3. Solana adds 1.4% to 103.33, XRP climbs 1.9% to 1.3858, and BNB gains 1.2% to 692.7.
The larger backdrop is still bullish by trend, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and BNB all above their 50-day averages. Dogecoin rises 1.2% to 0.0831, though it remains below its 200-day average.
The total crypto market cap slips 0.4% to $2.7T, even as Bitcoin dominance sits at 59.2% and Ethereum dominance at 11.2%. That suggests the day is more about rotation than broad enthusiasm.
CoinDesk headlines point to continued activity across the space, including new institutional buying, tokenized securities efforts, and North Korean hackers moving funds on Hyperliquid. The price tape, though, is calmer than the headlines.
