The crypto market witnessed a day of mixed fortunes as the global market cap climbed back to $1.7 trillion, signaling a stabilization after a 3% drop yesterday. 

Notably, Bitcoin surged to $43,600, marking its highest point since last week, despite a mere 6% increase in trading volume over the past 24 hours. In contrast, Solana (SOL) experienced a notable decline, shedding nearly 5% of its value today. 

The market also saw significant volatility in XRP, which plummeted to $0.49, its lowest in a month. This drop was primarily attributed to speculations around a $113 million breach affecting Ripple. However, XRP rebounded following confirmation from Ripple Co-Founder Chris Larsen that the breach was limited to his personal XRP wallets.

The meme coin market faced a significant downturn, with the market cap falling by 2%. Solana-based meme coins such as BONK and dogwifhat (WIF) experienced over 6% losses. PEPE also dipped by over 10%, while Shiba Inu and Dogecoin showed some resilience to the market dip.

A peculiar correlation seems to be emerging between the broader crypto market and the meme coin sector. While the crypto market experienced a decline yesterday, the meme coin market was notably up. Today, the trend reversed, with the global market stabilizing and meme coins facing a downturn.
