Crypto prices climbed broadly over the last 24 hours, with Bitcoin and Ethereum leading the move among major assets. Bitcoin rose 2.9% to $78,503.72, while Ethereum added 4.6% to trade at $2,320.00. The advance in both large-cap tokens helped keep market sentiment positive across the sector.
Bitcoin and Ethereum hold the center of market activity
Bitcoin remained the market’s largest focal point, posting $64.6 billion in trading volume and a market capitalization of $1.57 trillion. Ethereum also turned in a strong session, reaching a market cap of $280 billion. Its 24-hour gain of 4.6% stood out among the biggest assets and pointed to continued demand around the network. The numbers are straightforward, but they show that capital was still concentrated in the top two cryptocurrencies.
BNB, XRP, Solana and Dogecoin record solid gains
Other large-cap tokens moved higher as well. BNB climbed 4.1% to $777.21, reflecting continued interest in the Binance ecosystem. XRP rose 2.3% to $1.61, with its market capitalization reaching about $97.95 billion.
Solana advanced 3.6% to $103.85. Dogecoin gained 4.0% and traded at $0.1067, while its market cap stood at $17.99 billion. That mix of gains across exchange tokens, payment-focused assets and meme coins suggested that buying was not limited to a single narrative in the market.
Zilliqa leads the top gainers, with Kinetiq and Coin98 also surging
The sharpest moves came from smaller altcoins. Zilliqa (ZIL) surged 81.8% in 24 hours to $0.007306, with trading volume reaching $423 million. Kinetiq (KNTQ) gained 43.3% to $0.2185, while Coin98 (C98) rose 40.3%.
BankrCoin (BNKR) added 34.8%, Purr (PURR) increased 29.4%, and Wrapped Bitcoin (PulseChain) (WBTC) climbed 28.5% to $157.08. LCX moved up 21.5% to $0.05374, and UnifAI Network (UAI) gained 26.4% to $0.2428. Those moves showed that momentum spread well beyond the largest tokens during the session.
Broad market strength extended from majors to smaller caps
The latest 24-hour data showed a market rally that was not confined to Bitcoin alone. Bitcoin kept high trading volume, Ethereum outpaced it on percentage gains, and BNB, XRP, Solana and Dogecoin all closed higher on the day. At the same time, a group of smaller tokens posted double-digit gains, with Zilliqa far ahead of the rest. Price strength and heavier trading activity appeared together across multiple segments of the market.
