Ethereum and Solana Spark Crypto Rally as Risk Appetite Returns

Crypto markets experienced a broad rally during the evening session, with altcoins outperforming Bitcoin as risk appetite returned. Ethereum led the gains, surging 3.52% to $2,522.91, followed closely by Solana's 3.66% increase to $102.30.

The twin rallies in these two altcoins helped lift sentiment across the broader sector. Other mid-tier digital assets such as BNB (up 2.11%), XRP (up 1.44%), and Dogecoin (up 1.32%) also posted solid gains.

Bitcoin, however, rose at a more measured pace of 0.89% to $77,218.45, consolidating its position as the market's anchor but ceding some headline momentum to its smaller rivals.
