Global crypto market stabilizes as Solana meme coins bleed

The crypto market witnessed a day of mixed fortunes as the global market cap climbed back to $1.7 trillion, signaling a stabilization after a 3% drop yesterday. 

Notably, Bitcoin surged to $43,600, marking its highest point since last week, despite a mere 6% increase in trading volume over the past 24 hours. In contrast, Solana (SOL) experienced a notable decline, shedding nearly 5% of its value today. 

The market also saw significant volatility in XRP, which plummeted to $0.49, its lowest in a month. This drop was primarily attributed to speculations around a $113 million breach affecting Ripple. However, XRP rebounded following confirmation from Ripple Co-Founder Chris Larsen that the breach was limited to his personal XRP wallets.
