Global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $2.61 trillion as of Sunday, down 3.25% over the prior 24 hours, with trading volume reaching $98.9 billion. Bitcoin dominance held steady at just under 60% of the total market, while Bitcoin's own price edged up 0.46% to $77,833.81, suggesting the broader pullback was concentrated outside the largest cryptocurrency. Ethereum's dominance sat at 10.6%.
The market move follows a hack affecting a major exchange, with the FBI attributing the theft of $6.3 billion in assets to North Korea. The exchange has since restored roughly 90% of stolen assets through market and over-the-counter purchases and began phased withdrawals, with full reopening targeted for recent days. The episode marks the largest exchange breach in the industry's history, arriving as Bitcoin marked its 18th year since inception.
Among actively traded tokens, TRON posted the sharpest gain, rising 3.49% to $0.3129. OKB followed with a 2.61% increase to $113.25, and Uniswap climbed 1.97% to $7.22. Quant also advanced, up 1.67% to $202.69, placing it among both the day's gainers and the most-searched tokens, where it rose 1.21% to $201.51 in trending data.
MemeCore registered the steepest decline among tracked tokens, falling 6.95% to $0.835. NEAR Protocol dropped 3.43% to $4.28, and Ethena slid 3.02% to $0.183. Stablecoin-linked instruments BlackRock's USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund and Circle's USYC showed no price movement, as expected for dollar-pegged products.
Trending search data showed heavy divergence among smaller tokens. Beam surged 6.30% to $0.00555, and Pearl rose 5.64% to $1.53, while Kinetiq fell 6.63% to $0.531 and Super Inu dropped 5.93% to $0.0201. Hyperliquid, Sui, Injective and Canton all posted modest single-digit percentage moves in either direction, reflecting a market still absorbing the shock of the exchange breach rather than reacting to any single catalyst. Analysts cited in trading circles noted Bitcoin's relative resilience through the disruption, though they cautioned it remains too early to determine whether the asset has found a floor.
