Crypto Market Update: Bitcoin and Ether Experience Gains as Ethena Surpasses $11.9B in TVL
The global cryptocurrency market cap has increased by 2% to $4.03 trillion as Bitcoin and Ether continue to hold their gains. Here are the highlights:
- Bitcoin (BTC) has climbed 2.3% to reach $119,547.48, while Ether (ETH) increased by 0.7%, trading at $4,293.
- Futures open interest in significant tokens has decreased, indicating a capital outflow which may relate to price losses resulting from the unwinding of long positions.
- The Ethena protocol exceeded $11.9 billion in total value locked (TVL), attracting strong interest towards non-staking DeFi models.

The rise in key cryptocurrencies coincided with an uptick in risk sentiment, observed after a relatively uneventful macroeconomic period that supported the price action.
