The global cryptocurrency market capitalization edged 0.09% higher this week to $3.81 trillion, supported by continued institutional inflows despite short-term price swings. Bitcoin remained above $118,900, while Ethereum hovered around $3,885, though both posted intraday declines between 3–7%. Market analysts said strong liquidity and ETF optimism are sustaining sentiment amid broader equity corrections. Traders expect consolidation near current levels as volatility persists. Despite minor corrections, digital asset volumes indicate persistent investor appetite across major decentralized finance platforms and exchanges.
