The crypto price today is starting July on firmer footing. $BTC is trading around $63,148, up 0.70% on the day and 6.09% over the past week, as buyers step back in after a brutal first half. Bitcoin jumped above $63,000, reversing end-June losses and hitting its highest level in over a month during thin July 4 trading, with $XRP up 5% in 24 hours to lead gains among majors.
Still, zoom out and the pain is visible: the bitcoin price remains down 27.84% year-to-date. Bitcoin started 2026 above $93,000 but closed June around $60,000 after falling to a fresh 21-month low in the final week of the month.

What is driving the crypto price today?
Two forces are pulling the market in opposite directions.
Why is institutional demand still weak?
On the bearish side, ETF demand cratered last month. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their highest monthly outflow since inception, roughly $4.51 billion in June, led by BlackRock's IBIT. The scale of these crypto ETF outflows prompted Citigroup to cut its one-year $BTC target from $112,000 to $82,000.
What is fueling the $BTC rebound?
On the bullish side, large holders have been buying the dip aggressively. Bitcoin whales bought $16.7 billion of bitcoin over two weeks even as ETFs bled a record $4 billion — a divergence that has appeared near past cycle bottoms. Softer macro signals fed the $BTC rebound too: Bitcoin climbed back above $61,000 after Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh suggested inflation risks had eased, tempering fears of further hawkish policy.

Is Hyperliquid still the top performer of 2026?
$HYPE (Hyperliquid) is the standout of the entire top 10, trading at $71.53, up 4.52% on the day and an eye-watering 181.28% year-to-date. Hyperliquid remains by far the best YTD performer on the board while most majors sit deep in the red.
What about Dogecoin and the stablecoins?
$DOGE (Dogecoin) sits at $0.07689, up 1.26% on the day and 6.42% on the week, though dogecoin is still down 34.44% YTD as meme-coin appetite stays muted. Rounding out the leaderboard, $USDT and $USDC hold their dollar pegs near $1.00, while $LEO (UNUS SED $LEO) trades at $9.36, up 2.18% on the day.
Crypto Price Analysis: Is the bottom in for Bitcoin?
That is the open question for the crypto price today. Peter Schiff warned that the $58,000 support level must hold to avoid a capitulation below $50,000, while a reversal in ETF selling could spark a rebound in the coming days. Traders are watching whether the whale accumulation and easing macro backdrop are enough to sustain July's "green month" pattern after a red June.
