Thursday brought a modest lift across the crypto board. At 1:45 p.m. Eastern time, bitcoin ( BTC) inched up 2.9% to tap $111,282, keeping its dominance above 59% and holding a hefty $2.21 trillion market cap. Ethereum tagged along with a 2.7% rise to $3,925, while Binance’s BNB stole the daily spotlight, jumping 5.99% to $1,134 — one of the best performers among the top ten.

XRP nudged 0.45% higher to $2.42, while solana climbed 4.39% to touch $193. Tron moved up 1.95% to $0.3150, dogecoin wagged its way 2.12% higher to $0.1955, and cardano wrapped up the group with a tidy 2.09% bump to $0.6457. Outside the top ten, Hyperliquid’s HYPE stole the show, leaping 10.5% in the past 24 hours to $39.65 and notching a market cap of $13.32 billion.

Bitcoin cash ( BCH) also had a solid day, rising 3.22% to $487, while monero ( XMR) quietly impressed with a 4.48% climb to $320.37. Further down the roster, hedera (HBAR) ticked up 2.03% to $0.1652, while mantle (MNT) added 3.82% to reach $1.70. Avalanche (AVAX) inched 0.83% higher to $19.59, and sui (SUI) crept up 1.38% to $2.47 — modest moves, but all in the green.

While the market lingered in “extreme fear” yesterday with a 25 out of 100 reading, the Crypto Fear and Greed Index (CFGI) from alternative.me ticked up slightly to 27 today — easing into the plain old “fear” zone. The index has stayed spooked all month long, with “fear” dominating both the weekly and monthly sentiment charts.

Analysts have noted that bitcoin “addresses holding between 100 and 1K BTC have been accumulating aggressively,” while crypto watchers suggest gold investors are quietly shifting their bets toward bitcoin. Overall, the crypto market’s steady climb, like the little engine that could, shows resilience even as fear still lingers in the background. With whales stocking up and investors eyeing bitcoin over gold, the next stretch of this ride could get interesting.
