Ethereum (ETH) experienced an even stronger recovery than Bitcoin, climbing over 6.7% on Wednesday, offsetting its 4.4% fall on Tuesday.\n\nCurrently, the ETH/USDT pair trades at $2,067.\n\nWhile major altcoins rallied overnight, they remain mostly down on a weekly basis.\n\nSolana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX) have seen double-digit decreases, whereas Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Cardano (ADA) have maintained single-digit losses.\n\nDespite CZ’s departure, Binance’s BNB coin has kept its decline under 10%.\n\nThe global cryptocurrency market capitalization grew by 2.6% overnight to $1.42 trillion, with Bitcoin’s market dominance at 52.6%."}
