Bitcoin BTC remained above the $64,000 mark on Friday even as most leading cryptocurrencies traded lower, extending a cautious mood across the digital asset market. While large-cap tokens struggled to attract sustained buying interest, several smaller cryptocurrencies posted strong double-digit gains, reflecting selective risk appetite among traders.

According to Coingecko, Bitcoin BTC traded at $64,405.38, down 0.8% over the past 24 hours, while recording $17.91 billion in daily trading volume and maintaining a market capitalization of approximately $1.29 trillion. Despite the decline, the world’s largest cryptocurrency remained comfortably above the key $64,000 support level that traders have monitored throughout the week.

Ethereum ETH also moved lower, falling 0.5% to $1,905.08 while generating $6.72 billion in daily trading volume and retaining a market capitalization of nearly $230 billion. However, the cryptocurrency continued to trade within a relatively narrow range as investors waited for stronger directional signals.

BNB BNB lost 1.6% to trade at $587.48, while XRP recorded the largest decline among the major cryptocurrencies, falling 2.1% to $1.03 after generating $1.45 billion in 24-hour trading volume. Meanwhile, Solana SOL slipped 1.4% to $72.92 as sellers maintained pressure across the broader altcoin market.

TRON TRX remained largely unchanged at $0.3269 during the same period, while Hyperliquid HYPE eased 0.6% to $55.83. Dogecoin DOGE also declined 0.8% to $0.06934, reflecting the broader weakness across major cryptocurrencies.
