Over in the altcoin village, the villagers carried on. Ethereum (ETH), with the swagger of a poet who remembers his verse, ventured over $1,800, gaining nearly 12% in a week. One could almost hear it boasting to the indifferent river. XRP, ever hopeful for attention with the coming of the ProShares XRP ETF, instead tripped over its own feet and slipped down by 1.68%—a performance echoed by ADA and DOGE, whose movements suggested either deep strategy or the malaise of old hounds refusing to chase the hare.
As for Solana (SOL), it attempted to scale the imposing wall at $150, lost its footing in a manner almost theatrical, and now loiters sullenly around $148.77—one hopes it finds solace, perhaps in poetry.
