Bitcoin edges up to $64,176 as PUMP jumps 11% and LDO drops 11%
BTC is up 0.9% and ETH up 0.64% today, but the market is split underneath: 55 tokens rising, 45 falling, with PUMP and LDO on opposite ends.
The market day
Bitcoin sits at $64,176.41, up 0.9% on the day, with ether not far behind at a 0.64% gain. Neither move is dramatic, but they're enough to keep the broader tone calm rather than jittery.
Under the surface it's a mixed picture. Of the 100 tokens in our sample, 55 are green and 45 are red, which is about as close to a coin flip as the market gets. Pump.fun's PUMP token led gainers, up 10.6%, while Lido DAO's LDO was the day's worst performer, down 10.7%.
That split between a modestly higher BTC and a roughly even breadth reading is the story today: no clear trend, just individual tokens doing their own thing while the majors hold steady.
