BTC & Altcoins Jump Ahead of US CPI & PPI
Crypto Market (Feb 11): Traders and investors are once again optimistic as Bitcoin and altcoin prices gained a notable upward movement on Tuesday. BTC price jumped nearly 2% in the past 24 hours, whereas altcoins mainly mimicked an uptrend. Notably, the soaring movement has kept investors optimistic right ahead of the U.S. CPI and PPI data, set to be released on Wednesday and Thursday. Here’s a brief report on some of the most trending coins for the day and the latest market updates around them.
Crypto Market On Feb 11: BTC, ETH, XRP Gain, But SOL Slips
Notably, BTC price showcased a rising trajectory over the past day, briefly touching a $98K level high. Simultaneously, ETH and XRP prices traded dominantly in the green. However, SOL price illustrated a waning intraday action.
Nevertheless, the global cryptocurrency market cap jumped 2.30% in the past 24 hours to $3.2 trillion. Further, even the total market volume witnessed a 3.49% uptick in value, reaching $99.24 billion. So, let’s take a closer look at the crypto prices today.
BTC Price Jumps In Sync With Broader Crypto Market Trend
BTC’s price gained nearly 1% as of press time and is now trading at $97,534. Its intraday low and high were $96,666.51 and $98,333.22, respectively. Notably, the flagship coin soars despite global markets taking a hit after Donald Trump’s new 25% tariff on aluminum and steel.
Meanwhile, CoinGape reported that Bitcoin’s social sentiment has increased substantially recently. In another latest development, North Carolina forged ahead with its strategic Bitcoin reserve plan.
ETH Price Gains 2%
ETH price witnessed a nearly 2% uptick in the past 24 hours and is currently sitting at $2,676. The coin’s intraday bottom and peak were $2,620.10 and $2,723.52, respectively.
Santiment data shows that Ethereum saw its biggest exchange outflow in nearly 2 years, from Feb 8-9, with 224,410 ETH withdrawn by traders and investors. In turn, market participants eagerly await a bullish price movement ahead.
XRP Price Follows Uptrend
XRP price witnessed an uptick of over 2% in the past 24 hours and is now trading at $2.44. The coin’s 24-hour low and high were $2.38 and $2.47, respectively. Notably, the Ripple-backed asset witnessed a pump alongside soaring optimism for an XRP ETF. Bloomberg analysts predict that an XRP ETF could be seen shortly ahead amid rising odds in the market.
Solana Price Turbulent
However, SOL price has taken a rollercoaster ride in the past 24 hours, down marginally by 0.5% to $201.18. The crypto’s intraday low and peak were $199.59 and $208.83, respectively. Despite the odds of an SOL ETF also gaining weight, the coin is yet to witness a pump alongside other altcoins.
Meme Crypto Market Glimmers
Simultaneously, Dogecoin (DOGE) price gained by 4% in the past 24 hours, reaching $0.2582. Even Shiba Inu (SHIB) price jumped by 1%, reaching $0.00001596. Also, PEPE and TRUMP meme coins pumped by 2%-5% and are sitting at $0.000009793 and $16.08, respectively.

Solana price has gained by a strong 6% in the last 24 hours moving to $135 amid the optimism surrounding the launch of futures Solana ETF by Volatility Shares on Thursday. As a result, traders have charged in with daily trading volumes for SOL surging by 61% to more than $3.57 billion.
Solana Price Action Draws Trader Interest, Is Bottom In?
Today’s Solana price action happens along with significant trader interest in the altcoin. Popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that the Solana futures open interest has shot up to $2.7 billion, the levels last seen in October 2024. This shows a renewed interest in the Solana derivatives market while signaling growing participation from investors and traders alike.
After hitting the highs of around $270 in November 2024, the Solana price corrected more than 50% from the top in just the last four months. However, market analysts believe that SOL is showing signs of a bottom formation, and could reverse its trajectory from here onwards.
As shown in the below image, the Solana price has broken out of the converging triangle pattern. As a result, the immediate target on the upside could be in the range of $150-$180. Once the bulls successfully cross this range, we can see another leg of the rally to %260 and beyond.
Tuesday’s FOMC meeting saw the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates unchanged at 4.5%, which is the expected line. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market took this as a positive indicator with investors showing strength. The current SOL price prediction by analysts suggests that the bullish sentiment is once again picking up with the hope of an altcoin market revival.
Solana ETFs Go Live Today
In a major development for the crypto community, Florida-based investment giant Volatility Shares will bring the first-ever futures Solana ETFs to the US market. This marks the stepping stone for getting the spot ETF products into the market in the future. This is the same trajectory that was followed to bring spot Bitcoin ETF and spot Solana ETF to the market.
Volatility Shares LLC will introduce two Solana Futures ETFs with tickers – SOLZ and SOLT. Here, the standard Solana ETF (SOLZ) will directly track Solana futures, while the leveraged Solana ETF (SOLT) will provide investors with double the exposure to Solana price movements.

Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood is one of the outspoken supporters of crypto and blockchain technology. As the CEO of Ark Invest, Wood has built her credentials as a certified “stock picker,” pushing Ark Innovation Fund to $23 billion in assets. In addition to her lucrative selections, Wood is a well-known industry analyst.
In her latest statement, Wood predicts that most memecoins will become “worthless” since these assets only rely on celebrity hype, with no real-life use cases.
In an interview, Wood argued that combining artificial intelligence and blockchain technology generates millions of potentially worthless memecoins. She added that her company, Ark Invest, doesn’t plan to invest in memecoins.

Cathie Wood Says Most Memecoins Will End Up ‘Worthless’
Most of the so-called memecoins that are flooding the $2.6 trillion cryptocurrency space will probably end up “worthless,” according to @CathieDWood.

Memecoins Will Have No Value Soon?
In a Bloomberg interview, Cathie Wood expressed her sentiments on memecoins, a class of assets created using artificial intelligence and blockchain technology. According to her, many of these coins will soon become worthless.

Memecoins are types of digital assets that were initially created as jokes and a jab at the popularity of Bitcoin and often a reflection of trends and current events. Last February, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) stated that such coins are not securities but are still regulated.
Buyers Of Memecoins, Beware
In the same Bloomberg interview, Wood talked about her insights and recommendations on meme cryptos. When asked about these assets, Wood reminded investors and holders. She shared that there’s a huge possibility that investors can lose money with memecoins and that regulators, including the SEC, will not take full accountability.
Wood’s statement comes amid an increasing attention and demand for these assets after US President Donald Trump took office. Trump launched a meme token that surged on the first few days but is currently trading at a loss.
Wood further stated that these memecoins would turn into “digital collector’s items”, and some of these may withstand the test of time, including TRUMP coin. Last January, Wood warned against investing in the TRUMP token, saying that this asset has no real-life utility.

Wood Remains Bullish On Bitcoin And Other Altcoins
Meanwhile, Wood retained her bullish take on Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. She mentioned that the use cases for Bitcoin, Solana, and Ether are expanding and will become important to society.
Recent reports disclosed that Wood’s company recently bought 997 Bitcoins valued at $80 million through Coinbase, underscoring its commitment to the top asset.
Wood has consistently predicted that Bitcoin will pass $1 million in market value by 2030. However, Bitcoin is trading under $82k, down by about 13% this year.

As Ethereum price climbed above the $2,000 mark, theories for a mega rally have taken a life of their own. Analysts say the bottom may be priced in for Ethereum (ETH) amid a wave of dour reports for the asset.
Ethereum Price Is On Course To Record New Highs
Ethereum is staging a strong recovery since it slipped below the $2,000 mark in early March. Several analysts say a rally for the largest altcoin is in the offing, citing a slew of technical indicators.
Pseudonymous crypto analyst Master Kenobi disclosed on X that indicators suggest that the bottom is already in for Ethereum’s price. Master Kenobi hinged his theory on a previous pattern from 2020 and the subsequent rally that followed for Ethereum.
According to Master Kenobi, a steep Ethereum price crash in 2020 laid the foundation for an all-time high with the analyst identifying a similar pattern in 2025.
“An identical ABCDE formation of roughly equal duration concluded with an induced panic crash exactly five years later,” said Master Kenobi.#
Master Kenobi highlighted a long-range hidden bullish divergence that is suggestive of weakening downward pressure for the Ethereum price. Since ETH slipped below $2K, selling pressure for Ethereum reached frantic levels, sparking outflows from ETFs running into a small fortune.
Several Dour Reports Threaten ETH’s Recovery
Despite the predictions for a rally, Ethereum price can experience a slump, ruining the party for investors. Standard Chartered slashed its ETH 2025 target by a jarring 60% from $10,000, casting a shadow of doubt on future price movement.
Apart from the recalibration of Standard Chartered’s end-of-year prediction, Ethereum DeFi lost $29 billion from its ecosystem over 30 days. There are whispers that the Ethereum price can reach $5,000 following the Pectra upgrade to the test net but a crash to $1,600 remains a plausibility.
At the moment, Ethereum is trading at $2,020 and is up by 4.40% over the last day. Daily trading volumes have spiked by 92% over 24 hours, settling at 20.27 billion in defiance of the grim reports for Ethereum.
