Bitcoin Holds $78K as Arbitrum and Curve DAO Lead Altcoin Gains

Bitcoin demonstrated resilience on February 24, 2025, holding above the $78,000 support level even as trading volumes remained moderate, while Arbitrum (ARB) and Curve DAO Token (CRV) emerged as notable gainers among major altcoins, according to market data tracked by CoinGecko.

Bitcoin’s Steady Footing

Bitcoin’s ability to maintain the $78,000 level signals continued buyer interest despite recent macroeconomic headwinds. The leading cryptocurrency has traded in a narrow range over the past 48 hours, suggesting that market participants are awaiting clearer directional cues.

Analysts point to several factors underpinning Bitcoin’s stability, including sustained institutional inflows into spot exchange-traded funds and a slowdown in profit-taking by long-term holders. However, trading volumes have not yet reached the levels seen during earlier rallies, indicating that the market remains cautious.

Arbitrum and Curve DAO Lead Altcoin Momentum

Arbitrum, the Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution, saw its token climb 5.2% over the past 24 hours, trading near $1.85. The move comes as activity on the Arbitrum network continues to grow, with total value locked (TVL) in its DeFi ecosystem reaching a three-month high.
