Bitcoin consolidated above $80,000 as the crypto market showed resilience; total market capitalization hovered around $2.79 trillion and Bitcoin dominance held near 57-61 percent.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw weekly inflows exceeding $900 million, and sentiment improved as the Fear & Greed Index moved into neutral and then mild greed (highest reading of 2026).
Altcoins broadly strengthened: Solana, Chainlink, Avalanche, and Cardano gained 9-12 percent; XRP rose over 6 percent, while Ethereum lagged with a modest decline amid rotation toward Bitcoin and Layer-2 dynamics.
Market-cap-weighted indices rose 1.9-2.9 percent with improved breadth; Bitcoin volatility continued to compress.
Regulatory and real-world asset progress continued: the CLARITY Act advanced in the Senate Banking Committee, tokenized U.S. Treasuries hit a record $15 billion value locked, and stablecoin market capitalization reached around $321 billion.
