Bitcoin and Ethereum Steady as Solana Leads Altcoin Gains — October 3, 2025, 9:20 AM IST

Friday’s crypto market session shows Bitcoin and Ethereum stabilizing after last month’s volatility, with Solana climbing again and Avantis rebounding sharply:

• Bitcoin (BTC) holds at US$114,000 (-0.16%) with turnover at US$640.41M (+4.31%). Funding remains neutral (0%), as BTC continues to build a base above $110K supported by ETF demand and technical stability.
• Ethereum (ETH) softens slightly to US$4,100 (-1.61%) on US$448.22M volume (-6.39%). Funding climbs to 0.58%, revealing increased trader positioning ahead of a potential October rebound toward $4,600.
• Solana (SOL) dips modestly to US$206.92 (-1.85%) with a volume increase to US$244.18M (+7.43%), funding steady at 0.48%, underlining robust liquidity and steady demand from active traders.
• XRP falls to US$2.82 (-1.96%) and US$156.02M in volume (-3.73%). Funding rate jumps to 1.06%, signaling leveraged trades and the possibility of a bounce if $2.80 holds support.
• Avantis (AVNT) jumps 10.38% to US$1.185 on US$133.99M volume (+3.51%), funding at 1.69%, suggesting strong speculative flows and quick profit chasing among altcoin traders.
