Bitcoin’s recent price recovery brought it to a high of $71,500, but it was unable to break its March all-time high and experienced a correction. Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) has emerged as the top performer, with a 6% increase in its price. The altcoins, except for ADA, have been relatively sluggish. Despite this, some smaller-cap coins like RAY, XMR, and MEW have also experienced gains. The total cryptocurrency market cap remains stable at around $2.450 trillion.
