BNB Breaks $1,000 & New High While Bitcoin Pulls Back

Over the weekend, Bitcoin’s price drifted downward after attempting to clear the $116,000 level. Earlier in the week it had surged from under $115,000 to nearly $117,000, but was rejected and has since slipped, now fluctuating between $115,000 and $116,000.

In contrast, BNB (Binance Coin) stood out among large-cap altcoins, racing past the $1,000 mark and setting fresh all-time highs — reaching about $1,080 on CoinGecko before pulling back slightly. Other major altcoins such as ETH, XRP, SOL, DOGE, ADA, TRX, LINK, AVAX, SUI showed little movement, while some smaller-caps like ASTER, M, and IP saw sharp gains — ASTER rose over 40% in a day.

Overall, the crypto market’s total capitalization dropped by roughly $20 billion overnight, bringing it down to about $4.12 trillion, with Bitcoin’s dominance over other coins close to 56%.
