​​Crypto Market Update: Bitcoin Holds Above $108K As Altcoins Rally

(MENAFN- DailyFX (IG)) ​​​Bitcoin consolidates above key $108,000 level

Bitcoin is holding its ground at $108,860.00, up a modest 0.54% over 24 hours. The relatively subdued movement represents consolidation rather than weakness, with the world's largest cryptocurrency maintaining its elevated position above the psychologically important $108,000.00 mark.

​The question now is whether Bitcoin can break through $110,000.00 to signal the next leg higher. Current price action suggests traders are taking a measured approach, perhaps waiting for fresh catalysts to drive momentum.

​Ethereum leads altcoin charge

​Ethereum has emerged as the standout performer, surging 2.9% to $2,630.00. This rally puts ETH back in focus as traders rotate into altcoins after Bitcoin's extended run. The strength reflects renewed interest in the broader ecosystem, with smart contract functionality continuing to drive demand.

​Altcoins are showing broad-based strength across the board. Solana gained 2.5% to $152.86, while XRP jumped 3.1% to $2.33. Cardano delivered even stronger performance with a 3.5% advance to $0.595, and Polkadot stood out with a 4.2% surge to $3.48.

​Regulatory tailwinds provide boost

​The market is receiving significant support from regulatory developments. The US Securities and Exchange Commission has issued new guidance on cryptocurrency exchange-traded fund (ETF) disclosure requirements, marking a shift towards greater transparency and potentially streamlining approval processes.

​House Republicans have designated next week as "Crypto Week," planning votes on three bills aimed at creating a lighter regulatory framework. This legislative push demonstrates growing political support that could prove crucial for the next phase of market development.

​Corporate adoption accelerates

​Corporate news continues highlighting institutional interest. ReserveOne announced plans to go public via SPAC, aiming to raise over $1 billion, while Trump Media filed to launch a "Crypto Blue Chip ETF" investing in major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
