Ethereum Breaks $4,500 Barrier: DeFi & Institutional Interest Drive Growth

The crypto market is showing signs of recovery as Ethereum and other major coins stabilize following initial shocks from proposed US tariffs. Bitcoin currently trades above $87,000, highlighting cautious but discerning investment strategies within the sector. The rise in real-world assets (RWA) is driving interest, with Ondo Finance leading the way while tokens like Mantra (OM) are poised for a rebound after recent volatility. Meanwhile, FloppyPepe (FPPE), combining AI tools and meme culture appeal, has seen significant early traction during its presale.
