XRP, Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL) Outperform Bitcoin (BTC) Price as SEC Chair Gary Gensler Sets Exit Date



Bitcoin is inching closer to the $100,000 mark, though its momentum has slowed. It clinched another record on Thursday at $99,500, dipping below $99,000 heading into the U.S. open. BTC has risen 1% over the past 24 hours, while the broad-market CoinDesk 20 Index gained over 7%. Most alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) in the CD20 outperformed BTC, an early sign of capital rotation into smaller, riskier tokens as bitcoin’s pace stalls. The $100,000 price point poses a significant resistance level, where investors might take profits on their investments. Still, there’s a possibility of BTC rallying to $115,000 by Christmas, supported by broadening stablecoin supply, inflows into ETFs and bullish options positioning on BlackRock’s spot BTC ETF (IBIT), 10x Research said in a Friday note.
