Bitcoin (BTC) was trading this Friday at US$ 62.768,00, down 0,7% in the last hour and 2% in the last 24 hours. Over the week, the world's largest cryptocurrency is down 2,5%, pressured by a profit-taking movement that spread across virtually the entire sector. Even with the decline, the asset maintains its absolute leadership, with a market value close to US$ 1,26 trillion and trading volume of US$ 24,68 billion in the period.
The second-largest coin by market capitalization, Ethereum (ETH) was quoted at US$ 1.813,27, down 1,2% in the last hour and 3,3% in 24 hours. Unlike Bitcoin, however, the coin still shows a slight gain of 0,8% on the week — a sign that some investors are still betting on the recovery of the market's second-largest project, which moved US$ 10,41 billion and has a market value of US$ 218,83 billion.
Among the other cryptocurrencies, the scenario was predominantly negative. BNB fell to US$ 558,40, with a loss of 3,3% in 24 hours, while XRP, trading at US$ 1,07, fell 2,7% in the same interval and is down 3,5% on the week. Solana (SOL) was among the notable decliners, quoted at US$ 73,67 and posting a 7,1% loss over the last seven days.
The most significant drop, however, came from Hyperliquid (HYPE), which fell 9% in 24 hours and 13,4% on the week, trading at US$ 59,57. Meanwhile, TRON (TRX), at US$ 0,3224, proved relatively more resilient, with a decline of just 0,2% on the day. Closing out the pack of major coins, Dogecoin (DOGE) fell 2.3% in 24 hours, priced at US$ 0.0713.
The negative tone in the crypto market follows the risk-off mood on U.S. stock exchanges. This Friday, futures for New York’s main indexes were trading lower and heading for weekly losses: the S&P 500 futures were down about 1%, while the Nasdaq-100 futures fell close to 2%, dragged down by the semiconductor sector. Netflix shares plunged more than 9% in after-hours trading after the company released a third-quarter revenue forecast below expectations, in an environment that the company itself described as increasingly competitive in entertainment.
