Global Crypto Markets Exhibit Steady Pulse Amid Narrow Gains – Markets and Prices Bitcoin News

The cryptocurrency sphere displayed modest equilibrium midweek, its total valuation clinging to $3.2 trillion—a fractional percentage point uplift from the prior day’s start.

Crypto Markets Hold Steady at $3.2T as TRUMP Meme Coin Defies Bearish Tide

Barely 38% of digital assets flirted with optimism, as the TRUMP meme coin, crowned the day’s champion, vaulted over 11% against the dollar. By Feb. 5, 2025, the market’s aggregate worth lingered at $3.2 trillion, paired with $132.86 billion in 24-hour trading activity.

Bitcoin (BTC) idled near $96,800 per unit at 5:30 p.m. (ET), while ethereum (ETH) treaded water at $2,780. A scant cadre of tokens escaped the red, with the official TRUMP meme coin again stealing focus at 11%. Not to be overlooked, FTX Token (FTT) carved out a 10.84% advance.

Clearpool (CPOOL) ascended 6.40%, Freysa AI (FAI) edged up 6.35%, and Trust Wallet Token (TWT) notched a 6.26% lift. Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and Lido Token (LDO) followed with 5.99% and 5.6% climbs, respectively.

Yet the bears feasted elsewhere: Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) plummeted 22.84%, trailed by AI16Z (-13.63%) and Raydium (RAY, -13.2%). SPX, DOG, VIRTUAL, and ENA each bled 8% to 9.82%.

Wednesday’s crypto market wove a tapestry of cautious stability and sharp divergence. While stalwarts like BTC and ETH pretty much held firm, the spotlight swung to TRUMP’s spirited rally and FTT’s unexpected revival, especially from a coin made by Sam Bankman-Fried and his defunct exchange.

Yet these flickers of optimism couldn’t mask the broader retreat, as double-digit tumbles plagued speculative outliers. This duality—selective resilience amid widespread retreat—paints a vivid portrait of a market balancing speculative fervor with sober recalibration.
