Crypto Market Situation
The cryptocurrency market is currently in a consolidation phase, with a total market capitalization between $2.2 and $2.5 trillion.
Bitcoin is trading in a wide range between $65,000 and $71,000, supported by institutional interest through spot ETFs, which now hold roughly $88 billion in BTC.
