Crypto Market Shows Fragile Recovery as Bitcoin Leads
The cryptocurrency market edged up 1.3% to $3.06 trillion, with Bitcoin outperforming altcoins. Extreme fear persists (Fear & Greed Index: 16), but BTC gained 1.4% to $87,601—its dominance now at 57.1%. Ethereum dipped 0.8% to $2,950 amid mixed altcoin performance.
Regulatory developments and stablecoin activity drove sentiment. Trading volume hit $116 billion, with Polkadot and XRP Ledger tokens among top gainers. The market remains skittish, balancing institutional interest against macroeconomic uncertainty.
