\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tQNT is today\u2019s top gainer from the largest 100 alts. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Bitcoin\u2019s price experienced an immediate uptick after Trump signed legislation to resume the US government\u2019s operations, but it was stopped at $104,000.<\/p>\n
Most larger-cap altcoins continue with their sluggish performance, aside from XRP, which has charted a 3.5% increase ahead of the much-anticipated debut of a spot ETF in the United States.<\/p>\n
BTC Stopped at $104K<\/h2>\n
The primary cryptocurrency has been in an evident decline for a while now. Its price tumbled from over $111,000 at the start of the month to under $100,000 during the previous business week, and the subsequent recovery attempt has been quite underwhelming.<\/p>\n
The most impressive rebound occurred on Monday, hours after US President Trump promised $2,000 tariff checks to some Americans and hinted that the government shutdown might be coming to an end. This resulted in a price surge to just over $107,000 for BTC, but that was another fakeout<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the following few days, bitcoin headed south once again and slipped to under $101,000 yesterday evening. Then, the POTUS signed<\/a> legislation to reopen the government\u2019s operations, which pushed BTC to just over $104,000 on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n However, that was as far as the asset would go, at least for now, and it has since lost more than a grand. It now struggles below $103,000, while its market capitalization has declined to $2.050 trillion. Its dominance over the alts has also taken a hit and is down to 57.5% on CG.<\/p>\n Perhaps the biggest news in the crypto community today is the highly anticipated launch<\/a> of the spot XRP ETF in the US after the last hurdle fell. Ahead of the event, the underlying asset\u2019s price jumped by more than 3% and sits above $2.50 as of press time.<\/p>\n The rest of the larger-cap alts are a lot less volatile. ETH, TRX, BCH, and XLM are with minor gains, while BNB, SOL, DOGE, ADA, LINK, and HYPE are slightly in the red. ZEC has returned to $500 after a 4% increase, while UNI and TAO have dumped hard over the past day of up to 8%.<\/p>\n The total crypto market cap struggles at just under $3.6 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n Disclaimer: Information found on CryptoPotato is those of writers quoted.
