The cryptocurrency market appears somewhat weak today. Overall, the total market capitalization of global crypto assets is reported at $4.12 trillion, down 0.96% over the past 24 hours. Trading activity remains moderate, with a trading volume of approximately $143.57 billion.

Bitcoin remains stable, currently priced at $112,837.22, down 0.76% for the day. As a market indicator, BTC's market cap has surpassed $2.25 trillion, maintaining a high market share of 54.45%—indicating that investor enthusiasm for leading assets remains strong. Ethereum is relatively resilient, trading at $4,277.63, with a 24-hour decline of only 0.24%. Its market cap stands at $516.34 billion, demonstrating strong support.

In smaller cryptocurrencies, XRP has experienced a noticeable pullback, currently at $2.86, down 2.31% for the day. However, TRON (TRX) has defied the trend, rising 0.46% to $0.3561. Shiba Inu has declined 1.44% over the past 24 hours, with a market cap of $7.3 billion.

Notably, the hype around the BlockDAG presale continues. The current price is $0.003. Market analysts generally predict its mainnet opening price could range between $0.38 and $0.43. If this prediction proves true, the potential increase could exceed 16 times, attracting significant attention from participants.

Institutional activity remains active. Tether recently launched a new unit of its gold-backed stablecoin, XAUT, called Scudo, where 1 Scudo equals 0.001 troy ounces of gold (about $4.48). This design effectively lowers the barrier for small investors to allocate gold assets. R2 Protocol officially launched its mainnet today at 15:00 (UTC+8), onboarding 12 asset management institutions and simultaneously launching real-world asset (RWA) products such as the annualized 4% T-Bills Vault, demonstrating a new trend of bringing traditional financial assets onto the blockchain. XDC Network also made significant progress in 2025, completing tokenization of $717 million in real-world assets, with collaborations involving Utila, Bric, and other partners further expanding the RWA ecosystem.

BlockDAG 0.003 Did you go all-in? Hearing about a 16x increase just makes me remember the feeling of getting wrecked last time, but those who quietly made a fortune probably already jumped in. TRX rallying against the trend? Luckily, I didn't sell everything; the free airdrops are still gathering dust in my account. RWA this time is real; institutions are entering, it feels like traditional finance is about to be broken. BTC 54% dominance is so stable; big players really know how to play. Scudo's design is quite restrictive; finally giving retail investors a way out, and even gold can be snatched for free.

Down again and not moving, this market is really stifling BTC is still holding the line tightly, ETH is holding up well, small coins are each playing their own game The pre-sale hype for BlockDAG is really intense, from 0.003 to 0.38? Come on, I've seen this trick too many times The RWA concept is back again, are institutions really playing or just harvesting the leeks, anyway I’m watching Why did XRP drop again, can this coin stop being so turbulent

It has dropped again, but BTC still firmly holds a 54.45% share, the big brother's position remains unshaken. --- BlockDAG's $0.003 has increased 16 times? That sounds unbelievable, let's see how the mainnet performs first. --- XRP was hammered again, but RWA is becoming more popular. Traditional finance is really going on-chain. --- Ethereum's strong resilience to falling is quite interesting. --- Tether is launching a gold stablecoin to lower the barrier; this is a good move. Small investors finally have a chance. --- Tron TRX is rising against the trend. What the heck is going on? Who's secretly taking over? --- Overall, it's just bottoming out. Bitcoin is still relatively stable at this level; continue to observe. --- The RWA track has really taken off. 12 institutions have integrated with R2Protocol. This is the future. --- Trading volume is 143.5 billion, and the heat is moderate. What does that mean? It means no one is playing. --- Shiba Inu coin dropped 1.44%, dropped again. When will these altcoins finally settle down?

BTC has stabilized, or else it would be criticized again for cutting the leeks. By the way, that BlockDAG from 0.003 to 0.43 looks a bit suspicious... XRP has dropped again, I thought it would rebound. The RWA sector feels increasingly competitive, everyone is fighting for this piece of the cake. This market cycle is a bit dull, just waiting for the main upward wave. The decline is less than 1%, and you call that weakness? I thought it was going to be halved again. Shiba Inu is still alive? I thought it was dead. The mainnet launch with a bunch of institutions involved sounds good, but let's see how much it actually gains. The operation of dividing gold stablecoins into units is interesting but not really surprising. Ethereum is the anti-dip champion; even when BTC drops, it stays steady. The fundamentals are solid. Wait, BlockDAG predicts a 16x increase? If that were true, I would have already gone all-in. Wake up, everyone.

BTC holds the 50,000 level with a 54% dominance, now that's the way to go --- Again XRP plunges, I should be used to it by now --- The 16x story of BlockDAG sounds a bit suspicious --- This wave of RWA, traditional finance is really coming --- Ethereum surprisingly didn't drop even a point, its resilience is incredible --- TRX is still struggling to rise, small-cap coins love this kind of move --- Tether's methods of financial packaging are becoming more and more elaborate --- Not weak at all, mainstream coins are not backing down --- Institutions piling into RWA, feels like the sentiment has shifted --- Market cap breaks 2.25 trillion but still falls, what does that mean --- XDC's 700 million tokenization, has it actually been implemented?
