TLT Market Desk — The total cryptocurrency market capitalization decreased by 3.22% over the past 24 hours, settling at $2.79 trillion. This downturn reflects a broader market trend of consolidation following recent fluctuations.
Bitcoin's price dipped by 0.45% to $83,162, while 
Ethereum saw a slightly larger decline of 0.71%, settling at $2,494.59. Despite these drops, Bitcoin's dominance remained strong at approximately 59.8%, underscoring its continued influence on market movements.
Bitway (BTW) emerged as the top gainer with a 34.92% increase, reaching an all-time high. This surge is attributed to positive market sentiment and media coverage.

Starknet (STRK) led the losers with an 11.83% decline, although it remains up over the week. This dip may be linked to recent developments in its privacy features and broader market sentiment.
