Global crypto market cap fell 1.61% over 24 hours. BTC traded at $74,782, up 0.34% in the period but down 2.78% over seven days. ETH was at $2,123.32, down 0.54% over 24 hours and 5.84% over seven days. SOL traded at $86.06, down 1.21% over 24 hours. BTC dominance stood at 59.62%; ETH dominance at 10.29%. CertiK told Cointelegraph that exchanges need hard dollar caps on hot wallets, arguing cold storage limits online exposure but is not a standalone security score. Observation: price action is mixed with broad downside over the week. Interpretation: exchange custody risk remains a structural issue independent of daily price moves. What matters next: whether platforms adopt explicit hot-wallet dollar limits and how markets react to upcoming CPI data.
