The global cryptocurrency market capitalization is $2.65 trillion, down 0.82% over the past 24 hours. BTC continues to consolidate in a narrow range near $77,000, while the Fear & Greed Index has further declined to the "Fear" zone at 28.

(Background: Crypto IPOs freeze: Consensys, Ledger, and Kraken listings all put on hold.) The global cryptocurrency market capitalization has shrunk slightly by 0.82% over the past 24 hours to $2.65 trillion. BTC continues to oscillate in a narrow range near $77,000, while ETH led the decline among major assets with a drop of nearly 3%. The Fear & Greed Index has further dipped to the "Fear" zone at 28, reflecting a persistently conservative market sentiment. BTC dominance remains high at 58.3%, with no signs of capital rotation into altcoins. The top ten cryptocurrencies by market cap (excluding stablecoins) generally trended downward, with only TRX posting a slight gain of 0.07%. ETH was the weakest major asset in the top ten, falling 2.93%, while DOGE and DOT declined by 2.17% and 1.90%, respectively. SOL, BNB, and XRP showed relative resilience, with losses contained between 1% and 1.3%. Regarding liquidation data, $670 million was liquidated from 107,000 positions over the past 24 hours. Liquidations were primarily concentrated in ETH long positions, with long liquidations accounting for 88%, marking the most severe case for long traders in recent months. BTC traded between $76,693 and $78,506 over the past 24 hours, closing at $77,194, a daily decline of approximately 1.1%. The 24-hour trading volume reached $24.3 billion, indicating healthy liquidity. Notably, BTC has retraced 38.8% from its historical high of $126,080, and it has been over a year and a half since the peak of the previous bull market. Technically, BTC has formed short-term support near $77,000, but faces heavy selling pressure in the $78,500–$80,000 range. BTC dominance has climbed to a recent high of 58.3%, indicating that capital continues to concentrate in BTC amid rising market uncertainty, keeping pressure on altcoins. The Fear & Greed Index has fallen to 28, remaining in the "Fear" zone for several consecutive days; the last time the index was below 30 was during the market correction several weeks ago. ETH was the weakest major asset among the top ten today, falling 2.93% to $2,117. On-chain data shows the ETH/BTC exchange rate continues to weaken, with Ethereum's valuation relative to Bitcoin reaching a yearly low. ETH's 24-hour high and low were $2,195 and $2,108, respectively, with a volatility of about 4%, as bears dominate the short term. In the Solana ecosystem, SOL is priced at $85.23, down 1.17% on the day, outperforming ETH but failing to turn positive. In the memecoin sector, DOGE fell 2.17% to $0.1066, continuing its recent weak trend. Notably, legacy Layer 1 coins like ADA and DOT also weakened, with ADA falling 1.5% to $0.254 and DOT falling 1.9% to $3.21, indicating cooling interest in non-trending Layer 1 projects. Against the backdrop of a broad decline in the top ten, TRX became the only major asset to close higher, rising 0.07% to $0.3543. The recent resilience of TRX may be linked to the continued growth of stablecoin circulation on the Tron network and stable demand within its DeFi ecosystem. BNB also showed relative resilience, falling only 1.1% to $645.72, matching the decline of BTC. BNB Chain's focus on memecoins and AI agent narratives continues to inject liquidity and attention into its ecosystem, allowing it to outperform ETH and SOL in a market-wide altcoin sell-off. The Fear & Greed Index slipped
