Crypto Prices Today: Bitcoin Holds $64K as Ethereum Outperforms
Crypto is closing the week in cautious green after a whipsaw few days. A softer-than-expected inflation print early in the week pushed Bitcoin briefly above $65,000 and Ethereum over $1,900, before a sixth straight day of U.S. airstrikes against Iran pulled risk assets back down. As of now, the majors are holding modest weekly gains, but the market remains firmly below where it started 2026.

Here's what moved this week and what to watch next.

Where are crypto prices right now?

As of this weekend, here's the snapshot for the majors:

Bitcoin ($BTC): ~$64,300, up roughly 3.3% on the week but still down around 27% year-to-date

Ethereum ($ETH): ~$1,860, the standout performer of 2026 with a positive YTD near +40% while the rest of the majors sit in the red

$XRP: ~$1.14, the most muted weekly move among the majors, holding just above the $1 support level

Solana ($SOL): leading the majors on the week with gains near +5%, trying to reclaim its previous trading range

$BNB: ~$610, up over 1% on the day

Bitcoin dominance sits around 57%, and total 24-hour market volume is hovering near $36 billion. Sentiment has recovered from June's "Extreme Fear" lows but remains fragile.

In her July 19 post on Elon Musk's X social media network, Mace argued that owning cryptocurrency should not prevent Americans from achieving homeownership. 

She has once again promoted her American Homeowner Crypto Modernization Act, which would require federal housing agencies to modernize their mortgage underwriting rules. 

"Owning crypto should not disqualify you from owning a home," Mace wrote.

One year later, GENIUS Act just made stablecoins easier to sell
On the eve of the $GENIUS Act’s first anniversary, the stablecoin market holds about $310 billion, including roughly $184 billion in $USDT and $73 billion in $USDC.

President Donald Trump signed the law on July 18, 2025, creating a federal framework with one-for-one liquid reserves, redemption rights, and monthly reserve disclosures for a market that moved faster than the rulebook.

Federal Reserve researchers measured stablecoin capitalization at $317 billion on Apr. 6, up more than 50% from early 2025, and recorded a 50% increase in Ethereum stablecoin transaction volume since enactment. As of July 17, core implementation measures are still in proposal form.

Kyle Sonlin, president and co-founder of Global Settlement Network, said his conversations with governments and institutions now start from acceptance of stablecoins as financial infrastructure, and his team spends “far less time explaining why stablecoins matter.”

Sonlin described $GENIUS as a credible federal direction that let banks, payment companies, and infrastructure providers commit money to longer-term plans.

He said that financial infrastructure rarely reorganizes within 12 months, and companies kept preparing for a regulated stablecoin market as agencies worked through implementation.

Triple-A CEO Eric Barbier sees the commercial result inside the enterprise sales funnel. His payment company has recorded more businesses moving from evaluation toward implementation, plus a “marked reduction” in sales cycles for enterprise customers that enable stablecoin payments through its platform.

Bitcoin rallied on cheaper gas while Americans expect rents to surge 8.3%

Both of the two big US report that landed this week have a blind spot that makes it harder to tell a healthy consumer from a squeezed one.

Quick Take

01June retail sales looked soft, but spending held up once cheaper gasoline was stripped out.

02That matters because headline spending and import prices both mask underlying pressure, from inflation to tariff effects.

03The unresolved risk is that consumers are spending faster than incomes while factory output stalls and July oil rebounds.

There's a question buried in this week's US economic data that sounds simple but is surprisingly hard to answer: when Americans spend more money, does that mean they're buying more, or just paying more for the same stuff?

Those are completely different things, and it's important to tell them apart. If people are buying more, then the economy is genuinely strong. But if they're just paying higher prices for the same amount of goods, then the economy is actually weakening, while looking healthy only on the surface.

And the two big reports that landed this week each have a blind spot that makes this question harder to answer.

We already got a preview from the inflation report earlier this week. Headline inflation fell 0.4% in June, the biggest one-month drop since 2020, pulling the annual rate down to 3.5%. But the entire drop came from one thing: cheaper energy, because oil fell during June's ceasefire. Take energy out, and the underlying inflation rate, what economists call “core,” didn't budge at all. It stayed flat, holding at 2.6% for the year.

XRP Has Stayed in Crypto’s Top 10 for 13 Straight Years – No Other Altcoin Has Done This

A recent report by CoinGecko found that Ripple’s cross-border token is the only cryptocurrency besides the market leader to remain among the largest 10 cryptocurrencies every year for a decade.

This came despite the asset’s ups and downs, some of which pushed it to new lows.

$XRP Remains in Top 10

Before we delved deeper into the report, we have a confession to make. It’s not really a new report. It actually came out over a month ago, but we somehow missed it. Nevertheless, we still think it’s a fun Sunday morning read, so here we go.

CoinGecko outlined that the cryptocurrency market has changed almost beyond recognition since 2014. Hundreds of projects entered and fell out of the spotlight, as former industry heavyweights, such as Peercoin, Namecoin, NXT, Dash, EOS, and Litecoin, all spent years among the top 10 elite before eventually falling out.

This is not the case with Ripple’s $XRP, though. The report analyzed annual market-cap snapshots between 2014 and 2026 and found that $XRP is the only cryptocurrency (besides Bitcoin) to remain inside the industry’s top 10 every single year. This streak spans 13 consecutive years and, unless there’s a major collapse in 2026, is likely to close its 14th year soon.

Can ETH withstand whale pressure?

Ethereum struggled to maintain upward momentum as whale distribution increased.

Even so, technical indicators retained a bullish bias despite ETH’s weak price action. The Aroon Up stood at 78, above the Aroon Down reading of 28. This indicated that ETH had recorded a recent high more recently than its latest low.

The MACD also maintained an upward trajectory and reached 35, supporting the remaining bullish momentum.

Together, these indicators suggested that sellers had not secured complete control despite rising whale distribution. If selling intensifies, ETH could fall toward $1,700. However, absorbing that supply may help bulls reclaim $1,900.

Mass shooting leaves 9 injured in Uptown Minneapolis
A blaze of gunfire left nine injured, including multiple victims with life-threatening injuries, outside the Reign Event Center early Sunday.
Nine people were injured in a mass shooting outside a Minneapolis nightclub early Sunday morning.
Minneapolis Police Department says gunfire erupted at roughly 12:27 a.m. outside the Reign Event Center in Uptown at 2901 Hennepin Avenue. 911 callers reported that multiple people were injured.

MPD dispatched officers from all five precincts, and the first officers were at the scene within a minute of the 911 calls.

Four victims were found at the scene, including a 20-year-old man suffering from what police called “potentially life-threatening gunshot wounds.” Three other victims — a 21-year-old man and two women, ages 27 and 21, respectively — were suffering from non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
