The cryptocurrency market remains in a state of anticipation, with investors' eyes on macroeconomic news and developments in each network. Here is a look at the three currencies that define the ecosystem.
1. Bitcoin $BTC
Price and Performance Today: Bitcoin (BTC) has shown a relatively stable movement in the last 24 hours, trading around $115,820 USD. This stability comes after a week of gains, and now the market's attention is focused on the upcoming decision regarding the Federal Reserve's interest rate, a factor that often influences risk assets like cryptocurrencies.
Key News: Market sentiment towards Bitcoin remains cautiously optimistic. Reports indicate that companies like Forward Industries have made significant acquisitions of crypto assets, underscoring growing institutional interest. Additionally, it has been announced that BitMine has reported multimillion-dollar holdings in cryptocurrencies and cash.
2. Ethereum $ETH
Price and Performance Today: Ethereum (ETH) has followed a similar pattern to Bitcoin, with slight variation in the last 24 hours. The price of ETH is around $4,493 USD. Its market capitalization firmly maintains it in second place, reinforcing its role as the primary platform for decentralized applications (dApps) and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Key News: Analysts continue to evaluate the impact of the Fed's decision on the price of Ethereum, as the asset is sensitive to changes in economic policies. At the network level, Ethereum benefits from the ongoing demand for its network for the creation of NFTs and the use of smart contracts, which drives transaction volume and the value of "gas" (network fees) paid in ETH.
3. Tether $USDT
Price and Performance Today: As expected for a stablecoin, the price of Tether (USDT) has maintained its parity with the US dollar, trading at $1.00 USD. Its market capitalization and trading volume remain enormous, confirming its role as the primary asset for liquidity within the cryptocurrency market.

In recent news, Tether's investment in a blockchain forensics firm to combat cryptocurrency crimes is highlighted. Additionally, reports indicate the issuance of 2 billion USDT on the Ethereum network, with a portion allocated to Binance, which generates speculation and demonstrates the continued utility of USDT as a bridge for capital flow between exchanges and DeFi protocols. The company has also revealed plans to make its Bitcoin mining operating system open source, a move that could empower smaller miners for the fourth quarter of 2025.
