Major coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum traded lower on Sunday evening as the global cryptocurrency market cap slipped 1.3% to $2.58 trillion.

Santiment, a market intelligence platform, noted that returns from Bitcoin and Ethereum outpaced those from S&P 500 this week.CryptocurrencyGains +/-Price (Recorded at 11:09 p.m. EDT)Bitcoin BTC/USD -0.82%$68,414.99Ethereum ETH/USD -2.19%$3,843.72Dogecoin DOGE/USD -5.59%$0.165

The index has remained unchanged at 82 compared with the last week. A value of 100 on the index represents "Extreme Greed" while 0 indicates "Extreme Fear."
"Historically, [Cryptocurrency] markets see sustained [bull markets] with little to no correlation with [equities], so traders are hopeful this trend continues," said Santiment on X, formerly Twitter.

He said in a separate post on X that Altcoins are "lagging behind" and their market cap still needs to gain 70% to get toward the highs seen in the previous cycle.
Meanwhile, Coinglass, a cryptocurrency futures trading and information platform, noted that CME BTC Futures Open Interest has exceeded the $10 billion mark for the first time and hit a new "all-time high." It should be noted that a rise in open interest is an indicator of fresh money coming into the market for a particular option.
