CoinSwitch Market Desk said, “Crypto markets enjoyed a broad-based rebound amid renewed optimism around the US regulation, macroeconomic signals, and surging altcoin momentum. Bitcoin held firm near $118,100, supported by easing CPI data that buoyed hopes for a September US Federal Reserve rate cut. Ethereum outperformed with a strong 7–10 per cent rally to $3,340, driven by enthusiasm for the GENIUS Act and regulatory clarity around Stablecoins, as well as rising staking and tokenisation narratives.”
“This weekend’s data revealed that four top‑10 altcoins have outperformed Bitcoin over the past seven days, and the top 24‑hour gainers were predominantly memecoins,” it added.
