Bitcoin tops $64K as crypto market rises; HYPE, XRP, SOL and other alts post gains
Crypto markets were higher on Monday, with total market value cited at $2.18 trillion and up 0.55% day over day as Bitcoin, XRP, and Solana extended a recovery attempt. Separately, multiple outlets reported Bitcoin pushing above the $64,000 level during Asian trading hours, while equity futures were largely steady ahead of major retail earnings releases, including Walmart and Target [1] [2].
Price action also showed strength across parts of the market beyond BTC. One report said Ethereum was up 1.4% as Bitcoin held above $63,000, with Hyperliquid (HYPE) rising 4.3% to $59.42 and GoPlus Security (GPS) up 34.3% among smaller gainers. Another article highlighted Binance Coin (BNB) trading near a critical $600 area, with attention on a $700 target [3] [4].
Overall coverage pointed to a risk-on tone for digital assets, led by Bitcoin holding gains above $63,000 to $64,000 while select altcoins posted larger percentage moves [2] [3].
