Crypto Market Slips Lower as Volumes Throttle Back - July 30, 2025, 12:45 PM IST

As of midday on July 30, 2025, the cryptocurrency market is in a soft drift, continuing the consolidation phase seen throughout the morning session.

• Bitcoin (BTC) remains at $118,000, slipping 0.55% in the last 24 hours amid a further 31% drop in trading volume to $625M. The funding rate stays at 0%, signaling a balanced, non-directional bias from futures traders and a lack of speculative pressure.
• Ethereum (ETH) tracks lower to $3,800 (down 0.68%) with its own volume shrinking 25.5% to $480M. The funding rate remains subdued at 0.03%, suggesting spot-driven movement and minimal leverage.
• XRP slides to $3.12, a 1.06% decline as 24H volume contracts to $227M (down 31%). A stable funding rate of 0.32% reveals ongoing, but modest, bullish participation after recent unwinding of frothy positioning.
• Solana (SOL) dips 2.11% to $181.45, mirroring the drop in volume to $129M (down 31%), and maintains a moderate funding rate at 0.55%.

The market’s current pattern reflects declining volatility and thinning liquidity as traders square up positions and await fresh cues. This quiet session is in line with broader global markets, where risk appetite is muted ahead of key macro events such as the U.S. Federal Reserve meeting later today, which may redefine directional risk for both traditional and digital assets. Analysts continue to point out that profit-taking and macro caution remain prevalent after July’s strong run-up in crypto prices.
