Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) was busy doing what Ethereum does best-meandering its way above $4,600 with the grace of a sleep-deprived ballerina, peaking at $4,639 before gliding back to about $4,566. Ripple (XRP) kept a stiff upper lip above $3, trading at $3.06, probably sipping tea and muttering about “market stability.” Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE), apparently caught up in a bout of optimism or maybe just caffeine, surged over 3%, flirting with $243 and $0.277 respectively. Cardano (ADA) wasn’t left out, boasting a 2.56% rise as it hovered around $0.904. Meanwhile, an entire circus of coins like Chainlink, Stellar, Hedera, Litecoin, Toncoin, and Polkadot all decided it was their time to shine. If crypto were a theatre, the altcoins just stole the spotlight while BTC quietly mused about early retirement.
