The crypto market is navigating a historic "regime change" day as the industry balances a major legislative victory against a leadership transition at the Federal Reserve.
Core Market Performance
Market sentiment is currently a "tug-of-war" between bullish regulatory progress and hawkish macro uncertainty.
Bitcoin (BTC): Trading at approximately $81,600. After a brief dip to $78,925 earlier this week due to hot inflation data, BTC has rallied +2.5% in the last 24 hours. It briefly touched $82,000 overnight before stabilizing at its current level.
Ethereum (ETH): Currently around $2,285. ETH continues to track slightly behind Bitcoin’s recovery, though it remains a focal point for institutional treasury strategies as evidenced by Bit Digital’s Q1 report today showing holdings of over 155,000 ETH.
Market Snapshot: Total market capitalization has climbed to $2.68 trillion, with Bitcoin dominance holding steady at 60.9%.
