📈 Market Overview

Bitcoin (BTC): After reaching a peak of $109,000 at the beginning of the year, BTC is currently fluctuating between $90,000 and $97,000. The recent volatility is linked to U.S. economic policies and fluctuations in market sentiment.

Solana (SOL): With the proposal to launch the first Solana ETF in North America, the cryptocurrency has surpassed $150, with analysts projecting a potential reach of $200, driven by growing institutional adoption.

Ethereum (ETH): After the "Pectra" upgrade, ETH reinforced its position in the market, facing competition from networks like Solana and Sui, but maintaining relevance due to its robust infrastructure.

XRP (Ripple): Ripple ended a four-year legal dispute with the SEC, resulting in a temporary price increase for XRP to $2.55. The expectation of an ETF linked to XRP later this year could boost its value.
