Weekend trading in crypto stayed relatively calm, with Bitcoin holding ground near $77,291 and Ethereum showing a modest 2.82% gain. Total market capitalization settled at $2.61 trillion, a level that suggests limited new capital entering the space but also little urgency to exit positions.
Activity over the two days pointed to selective buying in privacy-focused tokens and established layer-1 coins. Zcash led the gainers with a 4.3% rise, while Stellar added 2.7%, Binance Coin climbed 2.2%, and Chainlink finished 2% higher. The moves are consistent with rotation into assets that have clear use cases rather than broad speculative risk, several traders said.
Bitcoin dominance held at 59.2%, a reading that underscores how any broader market recovery still depends on BTC leadership. The weekend session lacked major shocks, allowing traders to digest recent price action. The question entering Monday is whether Ethereum and other mid-tier tokens can sustain their outperformance or whether Bitcoin will continue to dictate direction.
