The cryptocurrency market is experiencing mixed movements today, with Bitcoin (BTC) declining and XRP leading a significant surge. Despite an overall market decline, certain altcoins, like FTX Token (FTT), are also seeing major gains. Meanwhile, the total market cap has dropped by 1.86%, reaching $2.26 trillion, but trading volume has surged 17.81%, hitting $58.31 billion. Let’s take a closer look at today’s market activity.

Bitcoin continues to slide, with a 2% drop bringing the price to $64,462. Despite the significant $1.11 billion inflow into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, the market still failed to rally, likely influenced by external economic factors like the Nikkei 225’s 4.5% drop. Currently, Bitcoin’s market cap stands at $1.27 trillion. 
Ethereum (ETH) also followed a similar trend, dropping 2% to $2,625. Notably, a wallet linked to Vitalik Buterin made significant <a href="https://thebitjournal.com/bitcoin-ethereum-and-xrp-price-predictions-are-new-highs-on-the-horizon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ETH</a> sales, contributing to market uncertainty. Ethereum’s market cap has decreased to $316.41 billion as a result.

While Bitcoin and Ethereum stumbled, XRP stood out by surging 5.5% to $0.6452. Whale Alert revealed that a major investor accumulated 31 million XRP from the Upbit exchange, boosting its market momentum. XRP’s market cap now sits at $36.53 billion, marking a significant upward movement despite the general market conditions.

Solana (SOL) also faced volatility, slipping by 1% to $156. However, its trading volume spiked by 54%, reaching $2.06 billion. On the winning side, FTX Token (FTT) soared by over 60%, reaching $2.27, marking one of the day’s top performers. Additionally, Mina (MINA) and Popcat (POPCAT) saw notable gains, while Notcoin (NOT) and THORChain (RUNE) were among the day’s biggest losers.<img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-47338" src="https://thebitjournal.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/image-149-1536x701-1.png" alt="Bitcoin Drops as XRP Surges!
