Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin (BTC) holds its ground as the top cryptocurrency despite a 2.5% 24-hour dip to $79,072, reinforcing its dominant market position. With a market cap exceeding $1.5 trillion, it remains the most liquid asset in crypto, processing over $30 billion in daily trading volume. Compared to Ethereum's 3.8% weekly decline, Bitcoin shows stronger resilience, losing only 1.2% in the same period. This stability, combined with its first-mover advantage, makes it the benchmark for all other cryptocurrencies.
