Privacy bids hold while majors drift
Bitcoin is context only here, and the context is flat: $83,498, down 0.04% over 24 hours and 0.50% across the week. The wider altcoin field is doing more work in both directions. Global market capitalisation sits at $2.83T, down 2.64% in 24 hours, with BTC dominance at 59.29%.
Among the top ten, Zcash stands out at $1,250.14, up 3.36% on the day, alongside TRON at $0.3306, up 0.20%. The declines are heavier further down the list: Solana trades at $107.28, down 0.75% in 24 hours and 8.72% over seven days, while XRP at $1.37 is down 0.21% daily and 6.12% weekly. Ethereum sits at $2,504.09, down 0.77% on the day and 3.72% on the week.
Bitway leads, Quant retreats
Bitway is the session's dominant mover, at $2.69, up 49.86% in 24 hours and 109.02% over seven days, on $165.45M of volume. Privacy again features on the gainer side, with Monero at $553.93 up 3.30%. Bitcoin Cash adds 2.34% to $279.09.
At the other end, Quant falls 7.54% to $212.26 and is down 15.48% over the week. NEAR Protocol drops 4.71% to $5.04, Rain loses 4.48%, Ondo 3.79% and Figure Heloc 3.57%. Solana and Polkadot sit near the bottom of the 24-hour board at -0.75% and -2.76% respectively.
Sentiment warms, funding stays mild
The Fear and Greed index reads 62, labelled Greed, up from 57 yesterday, while the desk sentiment measure is 53, labelled Neutral. Perpetual funding on the OKX BTC-USDT-SWAP contract prints at 0.0089% per eight hours, a modest positive reading that implies longs pay a small amount to hold positions.
In DeFi, total value locked across tracked chains is $91.45B, led by Ethereum at $51.21B, ahead of Base at $6.21B and Solana at $6.06B. Headlines this session include CoinDesk reporting Ripple has added Stripe-owned wallets to the XRP Ledger, and CoinDesk reporting Solana has set 21 October for its Alpenglow upgrade targeting 150-millisecond finality.
