    Crypto Price Update July 17: BTC at $64K, ETH Above $3,400, Major Altcoins Rally

    The crypto prices today have continued with the momentum from yesterday. As a result, this signals a potential bull market that will lift the prices of coins to new heights. As investors begin to regain their confidence, interesting price movements and updates have been observed within the last day. Notably, positive sentiment has continued to loom across the market with the fear and greed index pointing to ‘greed’ at press time.

    Bitcoin earlier reached a weekly high of $66k before retracting some of the accumulated gains. Along the same vein, Ethereum has maintained its position above the $3,400 mark amid the coming launch of the ETH ETF. Simultaneously, other major altcoins have seen healthy gains in one day consequently driving the total market value to $2.38 trillion, showing a 1.82% increase within the observed time.

    Top Crypto Price Update

    The Bitcoin chart has shown an impressive price movement in the last 24 hours. The flagship cryptocurrency has gained 1.51% to trade at $64,923. This is interesting because the rally comes less than 24 hours after the defunct exchange Mt. Gox initiated another $9 billion BTC transfer that ignited fresh FUD. One factor that can be attributed to the sudden rise in value is the consistent ETF inflows. As of July 16, the spot Bitcoin ETF received about $422.67 million in inflows. Investors are beginning to eye the $70k mark as the rally continues.

    Ethereum has turned the coming ETF launch into stimulus as its price continues to propel toward $3,500. The value of the coin has seen a 1.0% increase to $3,453. Intriguingly, ETH has maintained this path even though there have been significant whale transactions over the last day. Coinfomania previously reported that two Ethereum ICO-related wallets shifted more than 3,600 ETH in one day.

The exciting jump comes amid a 150 million XRP transfer by Ripple to an unknown wallet earlier today.

    Meanwhile, Toncoin (TON) has dropped by 1.91% to $7.23. TON has seen lows and tops of $7.23 and $7.42 respectively. However, Binance Coin (BNB) has jumped by 1.08% to trade at $576.09. Over the last day, BNB has moved around $564 and $584 respectively.
