Crypto markets rarely stay quiet for long. Bitcoin fell more than 2% to around $83,900 as the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield climbed to 5.11%, adding pressure to non-yielding assets ahead of a roughly $14 billion options expiry. Meanwhile, XRP is seeing intense retail activity in South Korea, while Hyperliquid’s HYPE has pushed into record highs before cooling slightly. Against this backdrop, traders are also looking beyond established tokens toward early-stage opportunities where entry prices can change from one stage to the next.
