Bitcoin Price Forecast: BTC fails to reach all-time high despite building institutional and state support
Bitcoin (BTC) price stabilizes at around $105,200 at the time of writing on Tuesday, just 4% shy of its record peak.

Aave (AAVE) price exchanges hands at around $264 at the time of writing on Tuesday, building on growing sentiment within its ecosystem and the broader cryptocurrency market.
