Bitcoin (BTC) hits $92,486

Bitcoin saw a strong rebound, registering a 6.22% rise to trade at $92,486, with its intraday low at $86,939. This surge follows a volatile phase where BTC had retraced from its $103,853 all-time high in late 2024 due to fading optimism over pro-crypto policies and uncertain regulatory developments. Institutional investments via spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continue to play a crucial role in Bitcoin’s price movement.

Ethereum (ETH) gains 6.33%

Ethereum followed Bitcoin’s lead, climbing 6.33% to reach $2,314.16. The cryptocurrency's intraday range saw a low of $2,164.13 and a high of $2,314.16. Increasing institutional interest and regulatory clarity have contributed to ETH’s latest rally.

Solana (SOL) rises on ETF speculation

Solana traded at $150.07, reflecting a 5.66% increase. Investor enthusiasm is building over potential spot Solana ETFs, though regulatory approvals remain pending. The day’s trading range spanned from $140.37 to $150.21.

XRP volatility continues amid legal uncertainty

XRP edged up 3.67%, trading at $2.54, with an intraday low of $2.42. Legal proceedings involving Ripple Labs and the U.S. SEC remain a key factor in XRP’s price swings.

Cardano (ADA) strengthens DeFi presence

Cardano rose 2.41% to $0.9531, amid speculations of potential integration with Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD. The trading range fluctuated between $0.9199 and $1.012.

Dogecoin (DOGE) surges over 9%

Dogecoin recorded an impressive 9.62% gain, trading at $0.2176. The meme coin’s momentum has been fueled by a year-long rally that has seen it surge 350% in value, reinforcing its position as a leading altcoin.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) burns tokens, prices jump

Shiba Inu’s price climbed 6.26% to $0.00001376, as its rising burn rate continues to reduce token supply. Analysts predict this could propel SHIB back into the top 10 cryptocurrencies in the near future.
