Bitcoin was trading near $81,000 Wednesday as cryptocurrency traders looked for signs of another sustained rally, with several altcoins drawing attention through price swings, technological developments and growing interest in decentralized financial services.
Zcash, Dash, Hyperliquid, Bitcoin Cash and NEAR Protocol are among the cryptocurrencies attracting interest, although their recent performance has varied considerably. Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, hovered near $2,345, with both it and Bitcoin trading below their levels from a week earlier.
