Bitcoin and Ethereum posted gains while the total crypto market capitalization declined 1.53% over 24 hours.

Key takeaways
  • The total crypto market is worth ₹253.93T, down 1.53% in 24 hours.
  • Bitcoin is up 2.49%, holding 60.1% of the market.
  • Top gainer: Tezos (XTZ) +16.6%.

The total crypto market capitalization stood at $2.68 trillion, down 1.53% over 24 hours. The aggregate decline occurred despite gains in several major assets and an overall snapshot described as broadly up, with no single market-wide catalyst identified.

Bitcoin traded at $80,197 and rose 2.49% over 24 hours, while Ethereum reached $2,416 after a 4.04% gain. Ethereum recorded the larger percentage increase, although the snapshot does not provide a specific catalyst for either move.

Tezos was the largest gainer at 16.57%, followed by Pieverse at 13.91%, Pearl at 13.51%, and Backpack at 12.77%. The cited analysis found no clear project-specific catalyst for Tezos, Pieverse, or Backpack and attributed their moves to broader market strength and positive sentiment, while Pearl's rise was linked to renewed altcoin buying.

Official Trump fell 15.70%, leading the listed losers, while World Liberty Financial declined 11.86% and Venice Token dropped 10.43%. The site attributed Official Trump's decline to a reported Democratic midterm win and a linked crypto probe, while World Liberty Financial faced midterm-related pressure and legal scrutiny involving Justin Sun. No recent headline explained Venice Token's decline, and no definitive catalyst was established for World Liberty Financial.

The Fear & Greed Index stood at 50, classified as Neutral, while Bitcoin dominance was approximately 60.1%. These readings accompanied a mixed market in which Bitcoin and Ethereum advanced but the total market capitalization contracted.

Recent coverage included Solana's preparation for Breakpoint 2026, Lido's launch of built-in swaps on Ethereum, and Western Union's stablecoin initiative targeting idle capital with real-time settlement. Other headlines covered a U.S. extradition over an alleged cryptocurrency-related supercomputer hijacking plot, exchange-security concerns following a reported $6.3 billion Binance breach, and Robert Kiyosaki's renewed comments on Bitcoin and U.S. debt.
