Highlights

Crypto market cap rose to $2.41 trillion, but sentiment remains cautious with Fear & Greed at 32
BTC trades near $70,359 as institutions continue accumulating despite weak weekly momentum
Market consolidates, with BTC holding $70,000 and altcoins showing weak recovery trends

BTC is trading at around $70,359, showing moderate daily growth but still remaining about 5% below levels from a week ago, with a market capitalization of approximately $1.40 trillion. Ethereum is around $2,136, gaining about 3–4% over the day, but still under pressure on a weekly basis. XRP is trading near $1.41, showing modest daily growth but still in the red over the week, while BNB is holding around $629, demonstrating weak momentum.

Solana is trading near $90, showing a local rebound but also remaining below recent highs. Overall, the market is entering a consolidation phase after the decline, where buyers are gradually returning, but a clear trend has not yet formed.

Strategy and major players continue accumulating BTC

One of the key support factors for the market remains the activity of institutional investors, primarily Strategy led by Michael Saylor. The company continues to execute a large-scale BTC accumulation strategy, regularly buying the asset even during corrections, which creates long-term demand and reduces selling pressure. Previously, Strategy acquired thousands of BTC worth hundreds of millions of dollars, increasing its reserves to hundreds of thousands of coins and reinforcing its status as the largest corporate holder of BTC.

At the same time, companies like BitMine, led by Tom Lee, continue to actively invest in crypto assets, betting on the end of the current “mini crypto winter” phase and a subsequent market recovery. This strategy assumes that the current price weakness is temporary and связанa с фазой разгрузки рынка после ликвидаций. As a result, institutional capital continues to play a key role in shaping the long-term trend.

Regulation in the U.S. remains a key sentiment driver

Another important factor is the development of regulation in the U.S., where efforts continue to establish a unified approach to the crypto industry. Lawmakers are discussing the division of authority between the SEC and CFTC, as well as the interpretation of existing laws in relation to digital assets. Recent regulatory actions are aimed at reducing uncertainty and creating a clearer market structure, which is perceived by investors as a positive signal for the long-term development of the industry.

At the same time, the lack of finalized legislation maintains a certain level of uncertainty, limiting capital inflows. The market reacts cautiously to such developments, as investors are waiting for concrete decisions rather than interim statements. Overall, the regulatory agenda remains one of the key factors that can either accelerate growth or increase volatility.

BTC, XRP, SOL and BNB: key levels in the recovery phase

BTC is holding within the $70,000–71,000 range, where an important support zone is forming, and maintaining this level is critical for preserving the current market structure. XRP is trading around $1.40–1.45, showing weak but stable movement without a clear trend. Solana is holding within the $88–92 range, remaining sensitive to overall market sentiment and investor activity.

BNB is trading around $625–635, showing sideways movement and low volatility. BTC’s daily trading volume exceeds $50 billion, indicating sustained liquidity and interest from large players. Overall, the market is in a transitional phase, where further movement will depend on a combination of institutional demand and regulatory developments.

Recently we wrote that Strategy, led by Michael Saylor, acquired another 1,031 BTC for about $77 million. The purchase was funded through sales of common stock.
