The global cryptocurrency market cap stands at $2.67 trillion, down 0.50% in the past 24 hours.
Total market volume over the same period fell 8.30% to $70.63 billion.
The broader market stays cautious amid ongoing uncertainty around the tariff landscape.
Investors remain wary of both the extent and timing of potential new trade measures.

Ethereum (ETH) price today
Ethereum was down around 1.7% to trade at $1,590.78.

A new report from Binance Research warns that Ethereum’s push toward layer-2 scalability could undermine value accrual for Ether.
While L2 solutions aim to ease congestion and reduce transaction costs, the report suggests they may divert activity away from the Ethereum base layer, putting pressure on Ether’s price.

XRP was also down around 2%, trading at $2.09 after hitting an intraday low of $2.04 and a high of $2.14.
The price is subdued even as the US Court of Appeals has approved a joint motion from Ripple and the SEC to pause the appeal in the ongoing XRP lawsuit.
