Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin (BTC) commands the market at $77,438, a 5.6% weekly decline that still leaves it vastly outperforming #2 Ethereum's 8.7% slide. Its market dominance—over 50%—remains unchallenged, as no altcoin approaches its liquidity or institutional backing. The 30-day volatility index of 4.2% signals relative stability compared to altcoin averages of 6.8%, reinforcing Bitcoin's role as the top crypto asset.
