The crypto market rose slightly by 0.82%, with Bitcoin (BTC) struggling below $90,000 amid high sell-side liquidity. DeFi is thriving, highlighted by a 27.77% surge in Hyperliquid (HYPE). Ethereum (ETH) increased by 1.7%, but caution persists as institutional interest shifts toward AI and high-yield protocols.
The crypto market gained less than 1% in the last 24 hours as Bitcoin (BTC) remains stuck below the $90,000 threshold. Despite a brief attempt to reclaim the level, heavy sell-side liquidity near $89,500 has forced the flagship asset into a sideways grind, currently up just 0.82%. While BTC lacks the momentum to break out, the DeFi sector is booming, led by a massive 27.77% surge in Hyperliquid (HYPE) and gains from Jupiter (JUP). Ethereum (ETH) gained 1.7% and is trading near $3,000, but broader market caution persists. As institutional capital rotates toward AI and high-yield protocols, the GameFi and DePIN sectors are feeling the pinch, leading today’s minor retreat as traders wait for a decisive move from Bitcoin.
