Bitcoin traded near $63,830 on Thursday, up 0.33% on the session, as the US July Core CPI print landed at 2.5%, matching economist expectations and offering little directional fuel. Ethereum added 0.52% to $1,895, with total crypto market cap sitting at $2.27T and BTC dominance at 56.4%.
The in-line inflation number left the broader market range-bound. The Fear & Greed Index remains in Fear territory at 29, and the Altcoin Index held a middling 52/100, reflecting a divided tape where selective altcoins are catching flows while majors consolidate.
Elsewhere, the Solana network reportedly approached a near-stoppage earlier in the session, TON Strategy disclosed $15M in staking revenue against $10.6M in operating cash burn, and funding kept printing: Entravel raised $7.5M led by Ethereal Ventures, River markets $8.5M led by Haun Ventures, and eToro-backed Tradezero closed a $231M M&A round.

Frequently asked questions
-
Why is Bitcoin stuck near $63.8K today?
The US July Core CPI landed at 2.5%, matching economist forecasts, so the print itself offered no directional catalyst. With the Fear & Greed Index still at 29 (Fear), buyers and sellers remain balanced around the level.
-
What happened on the Solana network today?
The Solana network reportedly approached a near-stoppage earlier in Thursday's session. Details are still developing, but the event adds to a recurring pattern of intermittent reliability concerns on the chain.
-
What did TON Strategy disclose in its latest update?
TON Strategy reported $15 million in staking revenue from Gram against $10.6 million in operating cash burn, leaving roughly $4.4M of net income from staking activity before other costs.
-
Which crypto funding rounds closed today?
Entravel raised $7.5M led by Ethereal Ventures, River markets raised $8.5M led by Haun Ventures, and Tradezero closed a $231M M&A round backed by eToro, totaling roughly $247M of fresh capital.
-
What does an in-line CPI print mean for crypto?
A CPI matching forecasts is essentially neutral for risk assets: it confirms no surprise hawkishness but no dovish pivot either. Markets digested the July print as a no-event, which is why BTC barely moved.
