Market showed choppy price action amid thin liquidity. As of now, $BTC is trading at $87,217 and $ETH at $2,938. Bitcoin dominance stands at 59.54%.
Gold, silver, and copper prices fell sharply after reaching record highs. The decline followed profit-taking, higher margin requirements on silver futures, and thin year-end liquidity, which together amplified selling pressure across raw material markets.
A few other headlines include: Strategy acquired 1,229 $BTC for approximately $108.8 million at an average price of ~$88,568 per $BTC; Bitmine Immersion added 44,463 $ETH over the past week, bringing its total holdings to 4,110,525 $ETH; and SEC Division of Corporation Finance Deputy Director Cicely LaMothe announced her retirement after helping shape crypto-related guidance.
During the last 24 hours, the top three gainers were $BEAT, $NIGHT, and $HASH, while the top three losers were $MERL, $CC, and $GRT.
