Bitcoin Roars Back to $96K as Altcoins Go Berserk: VIRTUAL Surges 35%, CRV and FARTCOIN Rally 10%
Crypto markets defy gravity—again. Bitcoin reclaims $96K amid institutional FOMO, while speculative tokens like VIRTUAL and FARTCOIN post double-digit gains. Traders cheer; regulators sharpen their knives.
Altcoin season or recklessness? VIRTUAL’s 35% pump smells like a VC exit liquidity play, and CRV’s 10% bounce barely covers its 2024 scars. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s resurgence proves the OG crypto still writes the rules—Wall Street’s "digital gold" narrative now comes with a 6-figure price target.
Fun fact: Today’s top gainers all launched after 2023. Coincidence, or proof the casino never closes? *adjusts tinfoil hat*

ETH, which dropped to $1,741 in a dip earlier today, has come back in action with it now trading at $1,850, while SOL is also making a similar move and it is now trading NEAR $151.8 – up 2.76% in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile XRP, BNB, DOGE, and ADA have followed the uptrend and are recovering from the dip and eying to break weekly highs.
Other altcoins, including HYPE, INJ, FET, SEI and WIF have increased with an average gain of 7% today.
On the losing side, FLOKI has taken the lead as it declines 5%, followed by OP’s 4% and IP’s 3% drop. Beside this, low-cap alts like XDC, LAYER, FLR, IMX and TON have seen a decent loss of 2% in the past 24 hours.
