It’s been a relatively steady morning in the crypto markets as we kick off the week. The total value of all cryptocurrencies is hovering around $3.17 trillion, ticking up just under 1% over the past day.

Bitcoin saw a quiet range between roughly $91,700 and $94,150, and is currently sitting just above $93,300. While $BTC is moving modestly, the real action is in a few altcoins—SXP, SAPIEN, and VOXEL each posted double-digit gains, surging as much as 48% at the top.

A few big topics are buzzing across the space today. Bitcoin miners are feeling some pressure as revenue declines, while Solana is drawing notable institutional interest after a strong November. Over in traditional finance, talk around the next Federal Reserve chair and rising Treasury yields has the U.S. dollar looking a bit softer.

Here’s a quick glance at how some of the majors are moving as of this morning:

- **Ethereum (ETH):** $3,195.42 | Up 4.72%
- **$BNB :** $910.41 | Up 1.36%
- **$XRP :** $2.1671 | Down 0.77%
- **Solana (SOL):** $143.59 | Up 1.26%
- **Cardano (ADA):** $0.4491 | Up 1.49%

Other headlines worth watching: XRP network activity just hit an all-time high, Ethereum is testing key price levels while progressing toward its Fusaka upgrade, and Michael Saylor is predicting big banks will accelerate Bitcoin adoption by 2026. Meanwhile, in regulatory news, Citadel Securities is pushing for tighter SEC rules on tokenized stocks.

All in all, it’s a calm but news-heavy start to December—traders seem to be pausing ahead of key economic data and eyeing a few standout altcoin moves.
