The cryptocurrency market cap holds steady above $2.7 trillion as Bitcoin defends the $80,000 level, up 2% weekly and 10% monthly. Ether struggles with a 22% year-to-date decline despite a 4% monthly gain.

Starknet's strkBTC launch on May 12 introduces a privacy-optional Bitcoin wrapper, approved via governance vote. STRK token rallies 32% weekly despite a 4% daily dip. Meanwhile, Ronin Network transitions from sidechain to Ethereum L2 using OP Stack—a structural shift signaling growing L2 competition.

The Fear and Greed Index lingers in neutral territory as traders await macroeconomic catalysts. Protocol upgrades and regulatory developments this week may determine whether the market breaks out or retraces.
