V. Popular projects 

Market overview

Bitcoin has briefly crossed the $100,000 mark before retreating to around $99,000. The pullback from all time high was due to hawkish comments from U.S. Federal Reserve officials, hinting that rate cuts may be off the table in the near term. BTC’s market dominance has stabilized at 55.38%. ​

Altcoins are active, particularly in the RWA, DeFi, and memecoin sectors. A key indicator will be whether Bitcoin's dominance falls below 50% after adjustments, which could indicate further expansion for altcoins.
