- Bitcoin and Ethereum decline as overall crypto market loses strength.
- Solana and BNB slide, extending the market’s 24-hour downturn.
- Altcoins struggle while smaller tokens post surprising double-digit gains.
The cryptocurrency market turned red in the past 24 hours as leading digital assets saw mild declines. Bitcoin (BTC) dropped 0.7% to $113,028, with trading volume reaching $67.4 billion. The asset’s market capitalization now stands at $2.25 trillion, reflecting cautious investor sentiment after recent gains.
Ethereum (ETH) also declined 1.4% to $4,028.21, marking a slowdown in momentum among major altcoins. Despite the drop, Ethereum remains one of the most actively traded cryptocurrencies, with steady network activity supporting long-term confidence.
XRP edged down 0.1% to $2.62, while Cardano (ADA) slipped 2.0% to $0.6446, as traders booked profits from earlier rallies. Dogecoin (DOGE) fell 2.5% to $0.1938, losing ground after a brief recovery earlier in the week.

Altcoins also faced losses, with BNB falling 1.6% to $1,108.82, as market activity on exchanges slowed.

TRON (TRX), however, managed a small increase of 0.4% to $0.2971, remaining one of the few major assets in the green.
Among top gainers, smaller tokens stood out despite the broader downturn. OKZOO (AIOT) surged 30.2% to $0.507, while Ore (ORE) jumped 26.8% to $104.95. Sapien (SAPIEN) climbed 27.5% to $0.16, and Definitive (EDGE) gained 22.5% to $0.3865, showing that speculative momentum remains active in lower-cap markets.
The crypto market experienced a mild correction over the past 24 hours, with major assets including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and BNB slipping. The overall sentiment remains cautious as traders monitor price movements closely, waiting for potential signs of recovery or deeper retracement in the days ahead.
