Bitcoin surpasses $80,000; SOL and HYPE lead the crypto market recovery The crypto market surged strongly as Bitcoin reclaimed the $80,000 level, rising over 5% after weeks of trading between $75,000 and $78,000. Solana and Hyperliquid led the large-cap segment with gains of approximately 10%, while HYPE reached a new all-time high above $90. This recovery occurred despite the CLARITY Act failing to advance through the U.S. Senate and the Fed raising interest rates. Instead, markets responded positively to regulatory developments: the SEC announced a pilot exemption allowing testing of on-chain trading for tokenized equities, while the CFTC submitted new regulatory proposals for crypto asset trading and markets to the White House for review. Hyperliquid was further supported by the launch of a stablecoin lending feature using HYPE and BTC as collateral, pushing HYPE to around $91.60 at this time. The movement suggests the market is effectively absorbing recent policy shocks, as capital begins flowing back into both Bitcoin and major altcoins.
