BNB Shatters Records with New ATH, OKB Skyrockets 50% Again as BTC Stalls Below $114K: Market Pulse

BNB just blasted through its previous ceiling—setting a fresh all-time high that's got the entire crypto space buzzing.

Meanwhile, OKB isn't just climbing—it's exploding. Another 50% surge in the books, turning skeptics into believers almost overnight.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, can't seem to catch a break. Stuck wrestling below the $114K mark while the alts steal the spotlight.

It’s almost poetic—watching decentralized assets outperform traditional finance while Wall Street still tries to figure out what a blockchain even is.

OKB, BNB New ATHs

It seems that the past few days have belonged to digital assets tied to some of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges. BNB, for instance, traded at around $830 yesterday, but it skyrocketed to a new all-time high of just over $880 in hours. Although it has lost some traction since then, BNB is still 3% up on the day, trading close to $860.

The daily award for the biggest gains, though, goes to OKB once again. OKX’s native token has flown by 50% to chart a new record of its own at almost $197 (CoinGecko data). The asset has gained 300% in the past month.

Ethereum has tapped $4,300 after a 1.25% daily increase, SOL has exceeded $185% after a 2% jump, and Doge is above $0.22 following a 2.5% pump. LINK is close to $26, while ADA and TRX have posted more modest gains. In contrast, MNT has slumped by over 8% following its recent run.

The total crypto market cap has added around $30 billion since yesterday and is up to $3.950 trillion on CG.

BTC Struggles Below $114K

While some altcoins have headed north to new peaks, bitcoin’s price actually continued its recent downfall. The asset reached a new ATH last week, but has lost over ten grand since then. The past 24 hours also saw some declines, as BTC slipped to a three-week low of $112,500 (on Bitstamp).

The bulls managed to react rather well to this price drop and didn’t allow a further breakdown, even though there are a few warning signs. Just the opposite, BTC jumped to almost $115,000, but it was quickly stopped there and pushed south to under $114,000, where it currently sits.

Its dominance over the alts has slumped by 0.5% in a day to 57.4% on CG, while its market cap is at $2.265 trillion.
