Here is how the top cryptocurrencies are performing today:
Bitcoin is now trading at $105,107.51 with a market cap of $2.08 trillion and a daily volume of $47.6 billion. Despite announcements from DDC Enterprise, Fold Holdings, and BitMine Immersion committing $844 million in total to Bitcoin purchases, the price declined. This indicates broader concerns among retail investors and traders about short-term volatility.
Ethereum fell to $2,526.27, down 0.39%. Its market capitalization is $304.9 billion, with a trading volume of $20.5 billion. XRP dropped 3.25% to $2.17. Its market cap stands at $128 billion, and trading volume reached $2.8 billion. These declines come amid profit-taking and cautious movement across the broader market.
Hyperliquid (HYPE) is down 4.76%, now priced at $40.82. Its market cap is $13.6 billion, with a volume of $478 million. Despite pharma-tech firm Eyenovia announcing a $50 million token investment and rebranding to Hyperion DeFi, the token slipped. The fall suggests broader market concerns outweigh bullish company news.

China’s central bank has announced the creation of an international operations center in Shanghai for its digital yuan. Bank chief Pan Gongsheng announced the Lujiazui Forum. He stated that current cross-border payment systems are vulnerable to geopolitical weaponization, which could promote a multipolar currency structure.
In Iran, leading crypto exchange Nobitex suffered a hack totaling $81.7 million, according to blockchain investigator ZachXBT. The attack used vanity addresses to exploit vulnerabilities in hot wallets.
A pro-Israel group called Gonjeshke Darande claimed responsibility. Nobitex has confirmed unauthorized access and assured users that cold wallet funds are safe, and all damages will be reimbursed through an insurance fund.
These events underscore rising geopolitical tensions and their impact on crypto infrastructure.
