Bitcoin moved back above $60,000 as buying activity returned across the crypto market. The rebound was not limited to BTC alone. Major tokens advanced together, and Solana posted the strongest daily move among the largest cryptocurrencies by market value.
BTC traded at $60,499.87, up 2.3% over 24 hours, with trading volume at $40.34 billion and market capitalization at $1.21 trillion. Ethereum also climbed, with ETH changing hands at $1,625.56, up 2.2% on the day. Its trading volume reached $11.63 billion, while market capitalization stood at $196.12 billion.
Solana Outpaces Other Large-Cap Tokens
Other major assets posted smaller but still positive moves. BNB traded at $551.09 after a 0.3% daily increase. XRP rose 0.8% to $1.06, with more than $1.04 billion in trading volume and a market capitalization of $65.85 billion.
Solana led the large-cap group. SOL rose 3.8% to $78.40, the strongest daily performance among the leading cryptocurrencies. Its trading volume came in at $3.56 billion, and market capitalization reached $45.52 billion. Market activity stayed elevated through the session as traders positioned around the recovery.
Smaller Tokens Post Much Larger Moves
The rally spread well beyond the top of the market. A range of smaller-cap tokens logged outsized gains, pointing to broader buying interest rather than a move concentrated in Bitcoin. Taiko (TAIKO) was the standout performer, surging 153.7% in 24 hours while generating $165.7 million in trading volume. Gnosis (GNO) followed with a 106.3% gain, and Moonbirds (BIRB) added 83.3%.
MemeCore (M) climbed 82.3%, while Mantis (M) rose 66.7%. Rootstock Infrastructure Framework (RIF) advanced 55.3%, Wibx (WBX) gained 52.0%, Talus (US) moved up 41.7%, and The Black Bull (ANSEM) increased 37.9%. OpenServ (SERV) and Zero1 Labs (DEAI) also recorded gains above 37%.
Several Names Finish the Session Up More Than 20%
Band (BAND), Request (REQ), Lorenzo Protocol (BANK), and Magic Eden (ME) were also among the day’s top performers, each posting gains between 21.5% and 26.5%. By the close of the session, the recovery had become visible across both major cryptocurrencies and smaller tokens, with Bitcoin’s return above $60,000 serving as the headline move.
