The crypto market's total capitalization fell to $2.78 trillion, down 2.4% over the past day, even as Bitcoin held relatively steady at $82,230.93, up 0.46%. Bitcoin's dominance climbed to 59.4% of total crypto value, underscoring how altcoins bore the brunt of the pullback while the largest cryptocurrency stayed roughly flat. Trading volume across the market totaled a massive $31.7 trillion over 24 hours, pointing to heavy repositioning even as prices broadly retreated.
The clearest standout was Pyth Network, which jumped 18% to $0.0968, making it the single biggest mover among trending coins tracked. The oracle project, ranked 90th by market cap, drew heavy search interest alongside the price spike. Starknet also posted a notable gain, up 10.8% to $0.0867, while Plasma rose 5.6% to $0.0844. The clustering of layer-1 and infrastructure tokens among the day's trending names suggests renewed interest in that corner of the market even as headline prices elsewhere cooled.
Among coins with significant market capitalization, Uniswap led gainers, rising 4.29% to $7.53, followed by NEAR Protocol, up 2.76% to $5.04, and Bitcoin Cash, up 2.70% to $275.88. Worldcoin and Ondo each added roughly 2%, trading at $0.50 and $0.456 respectively. Uniswap's gain was echoed in the trending data, where the token rose 3.84% to $7.50, reinforcing that the move was broad-based rather than a brief spike.
On the losing side, Bitway dropped 19.47% to $1.93, the steepest decline tracked in the dataset. Canton fell 6.62% to $0.1096, Pump.fun slid 5.77% to $0.0045, and OKB dropped 4.88% to $118.41. Within the trending list, Pearl fell 8.05% to $1.82 and Lighter dropped 5.59% to $3.03, while Quantus slipped 4.26% to $110.92 — signs that the sell-off was not confined to a single sector but touched exchange tokens, DeFi protocols, and newer launches alike.
Ethereum's dominance held at 10.67% of total market value, with Solana adding 0.69% to trade at $105.40 and Sui edging up 0.73% to $1.02 — both relatively muted compared with the volatility seen elsewhere. The divergence between Bitcoin's stability, a handful of double-digit oracle and infrastructure gains, and sharp losses in exchange and meme-adjacent tokens paints a market in which capital rotated selectively rather than retreating uniformly.
