Today, the crypto market displayed notable strength, preventing significant downturns and maintaining solid performance. Bitcoin (BTC) held firm at the $63K level, while Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) recorded gains in the green. Aptos and SEI emerged as two of the top gainers for the day, attracting considerable attention from investors.
Despite a decline in total market volume, which dropped by 34.96% to $57.89 billion, the global crypto market cap increased by 0.52%, bringing the total to $2.20 trillion.
Bitcoin Price Holds Above $63K
As of September 21, Bitcoin’s price remained steady at $63,134, reflecting a 0.18% increase in the past 24 hours. The 24-hour low and high ranged from $62,364.61 to $63,511.93, showing relative stability.
Even with inflows of $92 million into spot Bitcoin ETFs and recent purchases of 7,420 BTC by MicroStrategy, Bitcoin saw a slight change in value. Nevertheless, market dominance for BTC dropped slightly to 56.78%, down by 0.48% from the previous day.
Albeit these modest cynics’ sentiments, it is important to highlight that ex–U.S. president Donald Trump climbed new heights lately by using Bitcoin to reserve a dinner. However, even with such adoption, the price remains somewhat below market expectations.
