Crypto Market Update – July 18, 2025

Today, Bitcoin trades around $118K, slightly down after recent highs, while Ethereum jumps over $3.6K, gaining momentum. The total crypto market cap hovers near $3.9 trillion. Altcoins like XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin see strong gains (6–14%). Major U.S. legislation passed the House—such as the GENIUS Stablecoin Act—boosting investor confidence. Whale activity is also back in focus, with a dormant wallet moving $10 billion in BTC to Galaxy Digital. Institutional interest is slowly rising, though retail still leads ETF inflows. Market sentiment is cautiously bullish, driven by clearer regulations and on-chain activity, but volatility remains high.
