Bitcoin closed at 13,433,000 KRW, up 0.9% from the previous day. Analysts believe that institutional capital inflows and ETF demand are the main factors driving the price increase.
Ethereum trading price is 4,580,000 KRW, up 0.43%. The emergency technology company BitMining recently purchased an additional 24,266 ETH, bringing its total holdings to over 4,168,000 ETH. Of these, approximately 1,250,000 are staked assets. Experts state that this large-scale accumulation forms the basis for upward pressure.
XRP trading price is 3,068 KRW, with a 0.24% increase. Amid ongoing market volatility, it remains above the $2 support level, demonstrating a stable trend.
Solana performed the best within 24 hours, with a trading price of 208,886 KRW. Analysts believe this is due to the booming development of its DeFi and NFT ecosystems.
On the other hand, Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, pointed out that 2026 will be a turning point for the cryptocurrency industry. Tom Lee from Fundstrat also predicts that after a slight correction in 2025, a bull market will emerge in 2026.
Based on current trends, experts forecast that Bitcoin and Ethereum could reach new all-time highs of $125,689 and $4,946 respectively. Investors should closely monitor major cryptocurrencies and adopt strategic market responses.
