Despite all the latest developments on the tariff front in the US, bitcoin\u2019s price has remained relatively stable during the weekend, and continues to trade around $68,000.<\/p>\n

Most larger-cap alts have produced little to no volatility as well over the past day, but some, such as Pi Network\u2019s native token, have slipped once again.<\/p>\n

BTC Calm at $68K<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin marked some gains last weekend after it bounced from the then-low of $65,200. In just a few days, it jumped to almost $71,000 for the first time in about a week. This Sunday surge, though, came to an end as the business week began, and a few consecutive leg downs by the bears drove the asset down to $65,600 on Thursday.<\/p>\n

It tried to rebound on Friday and Saturday again, as the bulls managed to take<\/a> it to a local peak of $68,800. Interestingly, these minor gains came even after some controversial moves on the tariff front, a topic that has typically resulted in more volatility and price declines for BTC.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the US Supreme Court ruled<\/a> that many of Trump\u2019s imposed tariffs were illegal. The POTUS was livid, calling the decision a \u201cdisgrace,\u201d and quickly announced<\/a> a global 10% tariff on top of the existing ones. On Saturday, he raised it to the maximum allowed of 15%.<\/p>\n

Although bitcoin now trades below its weekend high, it\u2019s still around $68,000. More volatility could be expected on Sunday evening when the futures markets open, similar to what happened several weeks ago during the EU tariff saga over Greenland.<\/p>\n

For now, though, BTC\u2019s market cap stands at $1.360 trillion on CG, while its dominance over the alts is at 56.6%.<\/p>\n

PI Declines (Again)<\/h2>\n

Pi Network\u2019s first anniversary after the launch<\/a> of its Open Network has not had any positive effect on the underlying asset\u2019s price performance. PI is among the poorest performers in the past 24 hours, losing 6% of value and struggling below $0.165.<\/p>\n

Other notable losers include ETC (-8%), ARB (-7%), and ENA (-7%). In contrast, PIPPIN has jumped by more than 17% to almost $0.60.<\/p>\n

Most larger-cap alts are also in the red, albeit in a more modest manner. DOGE, ADA, and HYPE have lost the most value (around 3% each), while XRP, LINK, and CC are down by 1%. ETH, SOL, TRX, and BCH have marked insignificant gains.<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap has remained above $2.4 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n
