Bitcoin Steady Near $64k as Crypto Markets Mourn XRP's Decline

Crypto markets started the day on a cautious note, with most major coins experiencing modest declines. Bitcoin was one of them, edging down 0.08% to $64,000.02. This marginal softness didn't cause much concern, as it held firm near a psychologically significant level.

Ethereum mirrored this subdued tone, dropping 0.11% to $1,866.21. The two largest digital assets by market capitalization showed little directional conviction in early trading.

XRP was the session's notable underperformer, falling 1.25% to $1.06. This marked the steepest decline among the eight coins tracked.
