Broader market analysis

[Dhray]

Bitcoin  is holding close to $99k, while Ethereum trades at $1,898, showing minor daily gains. $SOL is at $151.16, BNB at $609.25, and XRP at $2.19, all reflecting slight upward movement. Avalanche (AVAX) sits at $20.54, Chainlink (LINK) at $14.52, and Arbitrum (ARB) at $0.33, with modest gains across the board. Ethereum’s focus remains on the Pectra upgrade, set for Q4 2025. The upgrade includes EIP-7251 (raising validator limits), EIP-7702 (programmable wallets), and PeerDAS (EIP-7594) for rollup scalability. Blob capacity will also double, improving Layer 2 throughput and reducing fees. The broader market continues to consolidate after Q1 gains, with optimism building around network upgrades and steady institutional interest.
