**Crypto Market Update – October 29, 2026**
### Market Snapshot$BNB
- **Total Market Cap**: ~$2.68T – $2.74T (down 0.8% to 1.6% in 24h)
- **Fear & Greed Index**: 51 (Neutral)
- **BTC Dominance**: ~59.5–60%
- **24h Volume**: Elevated, around $70B+
The market showed mixed-to-slightly negative action after the Federal Reserve held rates steady at 3.75%–4.00% (10-2 vote). Two members wanted a hike, which pushed December rate-hike odds higher and caused some volatility + liquidations ($200M–$340M range).
### Major Coins (approx. prices)
| Coin | Price | 24h Change |
|------------|----------------|----------------|
| **Bitcoin (BTC)** | $79,900 – $81,500 | -0.8% to +1.2% |
| **Ethereum (ETH)** | $2,300 – $2,360 | -0.8% to +1.2% |
| **BNB** | $740 – $750 | Flat to +0.3% |
| **XRP** | $1.29 – $1.31 | -0.2% to -2.8% |
| **Solana (SOL)** | $100 – $102 | Flat to +1.4% |
| **Hyperliquid (HYPE)** | $88 – $96 | **+10% to +20%** |
Bitcoin recovered toward $81k after dipping near $80k earlier.
### Top Gainers (24h)
- **Hyperliquid (HYPE)** → Biggest mover (+10–20%) on news of NYSE-owner ICE partnering for regulated perps using Hyperliquid tech
- **Pepe (PEPE)** → +5% to +10%
- **Ethena (ENA)**, **Pump.fun (PUMP)**, **Zcash (ZEC)**, **Uniswap (UNI)**, **Arbitrum (ARB)**
### Top Losers
- Bitcoin Cash (BCH), NEAR, Mantle, and some smaller tokens saw 3–6% declines.
### Key Drivers Today
- Fed rate hold (hawkish tone) → short-term pressure
- Strong performance from Hyperliquid
- Ongoing institutional flows (Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows recently)
- Liquidations hit longs harder in some periods
**Overall**: Sideways-to-slightly soft market with selective strength in certain alts (especially HYPE). No major crash, but risk appetite remains cautious.
