XRP and BNB keep fighting for the fourth spot in terms of market cap.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"btc-stopped-at-82k\">BTC Stopped at $82K<\/h2>\n<p>The previous business week saw a notable price surge from the larger cryptocurrency to a three-month peak of almost $83,000. Thus, the asset had added $8,000 from the previous Wednesday, and it seemed primed for a correction as many analysts warned about the rally\u2019s structure.<\/p>\n<p>BTC indeed slipped to $79,000 by Friday before the bulls stepped up and didn\u2019t allow another breakdown. Instead, bitcoin <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pi-networks-pi-token-slips-again-as-bitcoin-btc-taps-81k-weekend-watch\/\">started to recover<\/a> some ground and quickly returned to over $80,000 during the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>More volatility ensued on Monday morning when BTC first dipped to $80,250, before it shot up to $82,500, but it was rejected and dropped by two grand immediately when US President Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/btc-xrp-ada-stopped-by-trumps-latest-response-to-iran-proposal-market-watch\/\">deemed<\/a> Iran\u2019s latest peace proposal \u201ctotally unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It bounced again yesterday, but this time, its attempt was halted at $82,000. The subsequent rejection brought it south to a familiar territory of under $81,000, where it currently sits. Its market cap remains sideways at $1.620 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts is up to 58.3%.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1436822\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1436822\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/BTCUSD-May-12.png\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1436822\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTCUSD May 12.

The token is up a mind-blowing 44% to $0.63, making it the 93rd-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. In contrast, PI\u2019s continuous declines have pushed the asset out of the top 50 alts by the same metric, after a 6% weekly decline.<\/p>\n<p>CRO, STABLE, TON, and CC follow suit in terms of daily gains, while JUP, VVV, and PUMP have declined the most.<\/p>\n<p>Ethereum has slipped by 2% daily and now trades well below $2,300.
