A market divided at the top
Bitcoin trades at $82,726, up 0.34% over 24 hours and 7.02% across the past 648 hours from $77,297, with dominance at 59.07%. That is context only, because the interesting action sits beneath it. The total market capitalisation of all crypto stands at $2.81T, down 2.09% in 24 hours, and 24-hour volume across the market is $69.99B.
The top ten tells the story of a split tape. BNB is up 0.93% on the day, XRP 0.86%, Zcash 0.44% and Bitcoin 0.34%, while Figure Heloc is down 2.80% and Tron 0.36%. Ethereum is nearly flat at 0.10%, but over seven days it has shed 7.04% at $2,496.78. Solana is down 0.28% on the day and 8.03% on the week at $110.22. The desk sentiment reading is a neutral 53, while the Fear and Greed index prints 64, labelled Greed, up from 59 yesterday — a rise in sentiment that the seven-day columns do not confirm.
Gainers built on real volume
Among the day's advancers, Bitway leads with 9.62% to $1.61 and 14.18% across the week, though its $15.52M of 24-hour turnover is thin against a $4.37B market cap. NEAR Protocol adds 7.44% to $5.17, up 8.87% over seven days, on $850.18M of volume. Cardano rises 6.62% to $0.2537 and is 1.36% higher on the week. Gram gains 5.29% to $1.47, Sui 3.77% to $1.11 and Avalanche 3.35% to $10.65, each still negative over seven days. Ondo adds 3.00% and Canton 3.09%.
Weakness in privacy and majors
Monero falls 2.08% to $522.42 and 4.68% over the week, Figure Heloc drops 2.80% and Hyperliquid 1.50% to $84.41. Bitcoin Cash is the weakest seven-day print among the tracked names at -10.53%, last at $279.57. In derivatives, OKX's BTC-USDT swap carries funding of 0.0016% per eight hours, a near-neutral reading, with $2.49B of open interest. DeFi's $92.08B of total value locked remains concentrated on Ethereum at $51.38B, ahead of Solana's $6.20B and Base's $6.18B. Separately, CoinDesk reported the XRP Ledger patched a decade-old bug and Robinhood Chain's slowdown spread from fees to trading, while CoinTelegraph reported THORChain's claim that Tether temporarily froze USDT vaults.
