Bitcoin Today: Market Retreats While COAI Soars 50%
- Bitcoin is currently trading at $111.577
- Altcoins extend losses with ETH and XRP falling
- COAI rises 50% and defies market trend
Bitcoin's recent recovery attempts were halted on Thursday, with the asset falling back to $111.577, with no gains for the day. Selling pressure persists on the market, and altcoins are following suit, with Ethereum (ETH) falling back to near $4.000 and XRP trading around $2,40.
Last week, Bitcoin had already faced a severe correction, plummeting more than $20.000 and hitting a multi-month low near $101.000. This movement wiped out $19 billion in leveraged positions and affected about 1,6 million traders, according to market data.
After the sell-off, the asset attempted to rally, rising to $110.000 and later reaching $116.000 on Tuesday. However, bears regained control, pushing the price to $113.000 on Wednesday and back below $111.000 on Thursday. As a result, Bitcoin's market capitalization fell to nearly $2,2 trillion, while its dominance over other cryptocurrencies rose to 57,2%.
Altcoins performed largely negatively. Ethereum fell 4,4%, and XRP lost about 5% on the day. Other cryptocurrencies such as SOL, ADA, LINK, DOGE, XLM, HYPE, SUI, AVAX, HBAR, and MNT saw declines of up to 8%, reflecting the risk-off mood. Double-digit declines also drew attention: TAO (-15%), ASTER (-13%), ZEC (-12%), and IP (-10%) were among the biggest decliners in the market.
Going against the trend, COAI continued to stand out with a 50% jump in the last 24 hours, taking its price above US$ 23, consolidating itself as the main positive exception of the day.
The total market value of cryptocurrencies has fallen by around $100 billion since yesterday, totaling $3,85 trillion globally.

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.
