Bitcoin’s Resurgence
Bitcoin continued its bullish momentum today, climbing 6.23% to reach $92,328.10.

Ethereum’s Performance
Ethereum also capitalized on the positive market sentiment. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization surged 6.42%, reaching $2,316.35. Institutional interest in ETH has been on the rise, fueled by expectations of regulatory clarity surrounding blockchain technologies, especially in light of discussions expected to emerge from the White House Crypto Summit.
XRP Trends Upward
XRP demonstrated robust performance today, gaining 5.12% and trading at $2.63.
