CoinGecko data showed Bitcoin dominance at 56.7%, while the total crypto market cap stood near $2.51 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>The moves came as markets reacted to mixed signals on the US-Iran situation. President Donald Trump said there had been productive talks, but Iranian officials <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KobeissiLetter\/status\/2036050986729357313?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">denied<\/a> that negotiations had taken place, which kept risk assets volatile across global markets.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ether and Solana lead large-cap altcoin gains<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ether outperformed Bitcoin over the past 24 hours and traded above $2,150 as buying returned to large-cap tokens. Solana also moved above $90, joining a wider relief rally across the altcoin market.<\/p>\n<p>The broader market move suggested traders were rotating back into higher-risk crypto assets after Bitcoin stabilized above the $70,000 level. The rise in Ether also pushed Ethereum\u2019s market share to 10.4% of the total crypto market, based on CoinGecko data.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>FET, APT and TAO post double-digit gains<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Among the stronger movers, Bittensor traded above $300 after a double-digit daily rise. Aptos and Fetch.ai also recorded gains of more than 10% during the session, while other altcoins such as Render and LayerZero also moved higher.<\/p>\n<p>These gains came as traders looked beyond Bitcoin and moved into AI-linked and infrastructure-related tokens. CoinGecko\u2019s market pages also showed Bittensor and Siren among the more active names during the day\u2019s rebound.<\/p>\n<p>Not every token joined the rally. Siren dropped sharply from its recent all-time high and traded near $1.04 after a steep pullback.<\/p>\n<p>The uneven price action showed that traders were still taking profits quickly in smaller tokens even as the wider market recovered. For now, Bitcoin\u2019s hold above $70,000 remains central to whether altcoins can extend the current move.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
