Bitcoin Rises 2.3% as XRP Leads Crypto Market Rally

Bitcoin rose 2.3% to $79,164 (approximately KRW 116 billion), marking a broader market upswing led by XRP. Of 121 major stablecoins, 79 advanced while the S&P 500 fell 0.3%. The Defiant reported that Bitcoin reached its intraday high during regular New York trading hours rather than overnight sessions. The price increase reflects performance compared to the previous trading period.
