BTC held steady despite the SEC delaying more spot Bitcoin ETF decisions, which slightly dampened sentiment. But robust support above $36k remains.
Solana (SOL) cooled from its recent rally after repeatedly hitting highs this week. Meanwhile, Avalanche (AVAX) surged nearly 50% after JPMorgan utilized its blockchain for tokenizing portfolios.
