It hasn’t been a good week for BitcoinBitcoin, or the cryptocrypto market in general. But there are at least two altcoinsaltcoins getting some love today as the rest of the market sinks.
After a two-day price drop of around $1,440, Bitcoin is now trading just above $10,600. Gone, for now, are the days of $11,000+ support, which Bitcoin had since late July. Now it’s nearing $10,500, a price the cryptocurrency had not touched since the flash crash in early August.
And considering that Bitcoin is the leading crypto pair in the market, it’s no surprise that its fall dragged the rest of crypto down with it.
EthereumEthereum, the second largest crypto by market cap (not to mention the blockchain network behind the decentralized financedecentralized finance boom), today fell dramatically in price after reaching a two-year high of $488.
ETH today plummeted to $390 per token before recovering a bit and settling around $400.
But not everything is red in the crypto-verse. DeFiDeFi protocol yearn.finance doesn't believe in traditional market dynamics, or even those that govern Bitcoin (if you can call it that).
The protocol’s governance token $YFI corrected a bit after touching the $40,000 mark. Still, it has managed to remain stable since then, resisting the general bearish sentiment in the market today. YFI is up 5% today.
At a per unit level, YFI is still now three times as valuable as Bitcoin (though its market cap is nowhere near the crypto king).
Meanwhile, Tron (TRX), the Ethereum competitor championed by Tron Foundation CEO Justin Sun, can today look at the rest of the market and laugh from its newly gained top 10 crypto throne.
Tron hasn’t experienced a price spike this drastic in more than a year, and it has not been traded at above $0.0425 since 2018. Until today, that is. TRX is up nearly 40% in the last 24 hours.
While Ethereum may have DeFi, Tron has Justin Sun, who is nothing if not a great marketer.
Sun recently announced the creation of a new meme token, which he aptly named after himself, in an attempt to prop up his own DeFi ecosystem on the Tron blockchain. And that appears to be paying off.
TRX is today the best performing crypto in the top 100 coins by market cap. Even $JUST (another crypto project created by Justin Sun) is getting in on the action: the coin is up nearly 20% on the day.
Where’s Bitcoin’s Sun when you need him, eh holders?

Stablecoin issuer Circle is hoping to raise as much as $624 million for its much anticipated initial public offering. The crypto giant—which is behind USD Coin (USDC), the seventh-biggest digital asset in existence—filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission Tuesday saying it would offer 24 million shares for $24 to $26 each. The firm is targeting a $6.7 billion fully diluted valuation. Circle filed an S-1 form last month announcing its plans to go public—the latest company maki...
An unofficial Solana meme coin dedicated to the Labubu toy range has skyrocketed 5,934% over the past two weeks to a $49.16 million market cap. The meme coin gained momentum after the dolls went mega viral. So viral, in fact, that stores have had to pull them from shelves to prevent customers fighting over the cute collectibles. The Labubu (LABUBU) meme coin was created via Pump.fun in October 2024, initially spiking to a $10 million market cap before retracing, bouncing back to $18.5 million, a...
Crypto markets are undergoing a fundamental transformation, with meme coins helping drive mass adoption and becoming a legitimate entry point for investors who later get serious. That’s according to New York-headquartered crypto exchange and custodian Gemini's latest Global State of Crypto report. It found over 94% of meme coin owners also hold traditional cryptos, with 31% of U.S. investors purchasing meme coins before Bitcoin or Ethereum. "Meme coins have become a surprisingly powerful gateway...
