• Siren (SIREN) and Asteroid Shiba (ASTEROID) surged despite market weakness.

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), BNB (BNB), and Hyperliquid (HYPE) all traded lower over the past 24 hours as selling pressure swept through the cryptocurrency market and pushed several leading digital assets deeper into negative territory. Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, declined 1.9% to $62,772.72 while generating more than $29.92 billion in daily trading volume. Although the asset maintained a market value of $1.25 trillion, the decline reflected the cautious sentiment that dominated trading activity throughout the session.

Ethereum (ETH) followed a similar path, falling 2.1% to $1,696.54 while recording $12.29 billion in trading volume and maintaining a market capitalization of $204.8 billion. The decline added to the broader weakness seen across the digital asset sector as traders reduced exposure to riskier positions.

XRP posted a steeper loss than both Bitcoin and Ethereum, dropping 3.4% to $1.13 while generating nearly $1.95 billion in trading volume. Despite the decline, XRP retained a market capitalization above $70.12 billion, keeping its place among the largest cryptocurrencies in the market. Solana (SOL) also faced notable selling pressure, falling 3.7% to $68.58 while recording $2.53 billion in daily trading activity. Meanwhile, BNB (BNB) lost 2.5% and traded at $573.59, maintaining a market capitalization of $77.34 billion.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) emerged as the weakest performer among the major cryptocurrencies, declining 5.0% to $67.44 as traders continued to lock in profits following previous gains. In contrast, TRON (TRX) remained relatively stable at $0.3202 and showed little movement compared with the broader market.
