In just a few days, it jumped to almost $71,000 for the first time in about a week. This Sunday surge, though, came to an end as the business week began, and a few consecutive leg downs by the bears drove the asset down to $65,600 on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>It tried to rebound on Friday and Saturday again, as the bulls <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/btc-price-taps-68k-despite-tariff-fiasco-etc-skyrockets-15-daily-weekend-watch\/\">managed to take<\/a> it to a local peak of $68,800. Interestingly, these minor gains came even after some controversial moves on the tariff front, a topic that has typically resulted in more volatility and price declines for BTC.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the US Supreme Court <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-reacts-as-us-supreme-court-strikes-down-trump-tariffs\/\">ruled<\/a> that many of Trump\u2019s imposed tariffs were illegal. The POTUS was livid, calling the decision a \u201cdisgrace,\u201d and quickly <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/trump-signs-new-10-global-tariff-despite-supreme-court-defeat-will-btc-crash-again\/\">announced<\/a> a global 10% tariff on top of the existing ones. On Saturday, he raised it to the maximum allowed of 15%.<\/p>\n<p>Although bitcoin now trades below its weekend high, it\u2019s still around $68,000. More volatility could be expected on Sunday evening when the futures markets open, similar to what happened several weeks ago during the EU tariff saga over Greenland.<\/p>\n<p>For now, though, BTC\u2019s market cap stands at $1.360 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts is at 56.6%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1429452\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1429452\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BTCUSD-Feb-22.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1429452\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD Feb 22.

In contrast, PIPPIN has jumped by more than 17% to almost $0.60.<\/p>\n<p>Most larger-cap alts are also in the red, albeit in a more modest manner. DOGE, ADA, and HYPE have lost the most value (around 3% each), while XRP, LINK, and CC are down by 1%. ETH, SOL, TRX, and BCH have marked insignificant gains.<\/p>\n<p>The total crypto market cap has remained above $2.4 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1429453\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1429453\" style=\"width: 1880px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-22-111834.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1429453 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/239b4700-318f-4be4-d19f-e2fb44b0d500\/w=9999\" alt=\"Cryptocurrency Market Overview Daily Feb 22.
