The crypto news today centers on BITCOIN slipping below $64,000 in a quiet weekend session after the July CPI report failed to spark the rally markets expected. Total market cap sits near $2.17 trillion, down roughly 1% over 24 hours, and BITCOIN dominance holds above 57% while major tokens drift lower.
While charts stay flat, a presale from a former Binance expert has already stacked more than $10.6M from wallets that chose to move now rather than wait for large caps to recover.
BITCOIN Fails to Hold After CPI Lands Without a Push
The crypto news today starts with BITCOIN dropping to $63,000 after two consecutive days of ETF outflows totaling $192 million wiped out last week's gains according to CoinDesk. July CPI came in at expectations with 0.1% monthly and 3.4% annual inflation, but the reading gave no trigger for buyers to step in.
Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $6.72 million in inflows the same day, showing that some rotation is happening even as BITCOIN funds bleed. BITCOIN now trades 50% below its October 2025 record, and the $62,662 floor needs to hold or the path opens toward $60,000. The picture shows a market waiting while smart capital repositions.
