BNB Maintains High Volume Despite Modest Rise

Bitcoin Holds Flat as Market Cools

At the time of writing, Bitcoin (BTC) was still at $109,021.29. At no change in cost, BTC was the top coin in daily trading, reporting over $49.2 billion in deals. Despite some variations in altcoins, Bitcoin’s consistent level of trading shows it is still ahead in the market.

Mid-cap tokens remained relatively stable, with Core (CORE), GateToken (GT), and OKB recording changes of around 0.20% or less. Since these assets experienced a drop in volatility, this suggests investors are still uncertain and waiting for more precise directions.
