At the time of writing, most top assets are trading in the red, reflecting cautious sentiment across the market.

Bitcoin (BTC) is down 0.5% on the day, currently trading at $87,337, while its weekly performance shows a steeper 3.1% decline. Bitcoin’s market cap stands at $1.74 trillion, with more than $44.7 billion traded in the past 24 hours.

Ethereum (ETH) is also lower, slipping 0.2% in the last 24 hours to $2,931, extending its seven-day loss to nearly 4%. ETH recorded close to $25 billion in daily trading volume, maintaining its position as the second-largest crypto asset by market cap at $354 billion.

Tron (TRX) limited losses to 1% in the past 24 hours, trading at $0.281, making it one of the more resilient large-cap tokens today.

On the upside, select altcoins outperformed the broader market. TokenFi surged 66.4%, while ZEROBASE climbed 68.2% over the past 24 hours. The White Whale also posted strong gains, rising 57.1%.

The institutional arm of Easy Come Easy Go now controls 601,074 ETH valued at $1.83 billion across five addresses, having borrowed a total of $958 million in stablecoins to fund purchases at an average price of roughly $3,265 per token.

Bitcoin is likely to trend higher over the next decade, but without the sharp, cycle-driven rallies that defined earlier bull markets, according to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan.
