The crypto market saw a strong recovery in the past 24 hours, with major cryptocurrencies bouncing back after recent drops. Bitcoin (BTC), which had briefly dipped below $110,000 earlier this week, climbed back above $113,000. As of now, BTC is trading at around $113,282, up nearly 3% in the last day. Despite some ups and downs, retail investors continue buying the dip, helping BTC stabilize between $111,000 and $113,000. Meanwhile, institutional selling has slowed, giving bulls a chance to reclaim lost ground.

Ethereum (ETH) also saw a solid rebound. After falling to $4,471 earlier in the week, ETH bounced back and is currently trading around $4,615, up more than 1%. Ethereum has attracted significant attention from institutional investors. In the last five days alone, spot Ethereum ETFs brought in $1.83 billion—far outpacing Bitcoin ETFs, which pulled in only $171 million during the same period. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) alone drew over $265 million in new investments.

Solana (SOL) is leading gains among altcoins. The token jumped nearly 5% and is trading around $213. SOL has been outperforming both BTC and ETH this week, with a 12% weekly gain so far. The rally is fueled by increasing institutional interest. Companies like Galaxy Digital and Pantera Capital are reportedly raising over $2 billion to create Solana-focused treasuries. These large-scale investments show growing confidence in Solana’s long-term potential.

Other popular altcoins showed mixed results. Ripple (XRP) is slightly down, trading at $2.99. Dogecoin (DOGE) is up almost 2%, while Cardano (ADA) is showing a slight increase at around $0.867. Polkadot (DOT) stood out with a solid 2% gain, now trading at $3.95. However, cryptocurrencies like Chainlink (LINK), Stellar (XLM), Hedera (HBAR), Litecoin (LTC), and Toncoin (TON) saw moderate declines.

Interest in crypto is not just limited to short-term trading. A new survey by Aviva found that 1 in 4 UK adults are open to including crypto in their retirement plans. Around 27% of the 2,000 people surveyed said they’d consider crypto for their pension portfolios, with 40% citing potential high returns as the main motivation. This could lead to a massive shift in how people invest their retirement savings, especially considering the UK pension market is worth over £3.8 trillion ($5.12 trillion).

This rising interest aligns with recent moves in the U.S., where President Trump signed an executive order allowing 401(k) retirement accounts to invest in alternative assets like crypto. The GENIUS Act, which focuses on regulating stablecoins for payments, has also been signed into law—marking the first federal-level legislation in the U.S. for this type of digital asset.

VanEck CEO Jan van Eck believes Ethereum could become the top blockchain for banks as they adopt stablecoins. He called Ethereum the “Wall Street token” because of its potential to become the go-to platform for stablecoin transactions. According to van Eck, every bank and financial institution will need to be able to handle stablecoins soon—and Ethereum or similar networks will likely be at the center of that infrastructure.

Supporting this view is the continued rise of institutional investments in Ethereum-related projects. ARK Invest recently bought another $15.6 million worth of shares in BitMine Immersion Technologies—a company tied closely to Ethereum mining and infrastructure—bringing its total investment to nearly $300 million.

Bitcoin ETFs have also started to recover after a six-day losing streak. On Monday alone, spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted over $219 million in inflows. Fidelity’s FBTC fund led the way with $65 million, followed closely by BlackRock’s IBIT with $63 million and ARK’s ARKB with $61 million. Analysts suggest that recent selloffs were driven by uncertainty around U.S. monetary policy.

Looking at Bitcoin’s weekly performance, BTC has been through several price swings. It dropped from $117,436 last Friday to a low of $108,670 on Tuesday but has since bounced back above $113,000. The recovery is largely due to renewed buying interest from retail traders and slowing sell pressure from large investors.

Ethereum also experienced a bumpy ride this week. After falling over 8% on Monday to $4,380, ETH recovered by over 5% on Tuesday before dropping slightly on Wednesday. It is now back up by about 2%, trading under the $4,600 mark. Institutional demand for ETH remains strong, with billions flowing into spot ETFs and corporate entities increasing their ETH holdings significantly.

Solana had a volatile but overall strong week as well. After dipping below $180 earlier in the week, SOL rebounded sharply and now trades above $216—a gain of over 6% during the current session alone. Big names like Jump Crypto and Cantor Fitzgerald are backing Solana-based treasury plans, showing serious long-term faith in the blockchain.

Internet Computer (ICP) showed modest movements throughout the week. After dropping below $5 earlier in the week, ICP has slightly recovered and is now trading around $5.09, up just over 1% in the current session.

Overall, while the crypto market remains volatile, investor interest—especially from institutions and long-term planners like retirement savers—is clearly growing. With regulatory developments unfolding and ETF inflows rising sharply for Ethereum and Bitcoin alike, momentum appears to be shifting back in favor of bulls across several major cryptocurrencies.
