BTC and ETH are still in the top 5 trending cryptocurrencies list on a 24-hour chart. CHEX and BOUNTY are new entrants, filling the gap between Bitcoin tokens and Ether. However, Ethereum tokens are expected to reclaim the 2nd spot if its 3-month price projection stands true.

A 24-hour list by CoinMarketCap of top trending cryptocurrencies shows BTC at the top and ETH in the 4th position. Their respective prices are $92,057.52 and $3,220.52. For a quick reference, CMC reportedly drafts the list based on the visibility and use activity on its platform. This includes activities like engagement and viewership by general users and investors.

Their positions on the list are also partly evident from 24-hour trading volume. BTC’s volume has surged by 24.05% while ETH’s volume soared by 15.05%. While the trading volume of Bitcoin tokens is $56.22 billion, Ethereum tokens are at $28.19 billion when the article is being drafted.

CHEX and BOUNTY on the List

Chintai (CHEX) ranks 2nd on the list, and Chainbounty (BOUNTY) ranks 3rd, with significant gains in their 24-hour trading volume. BOUNTY’s gain stands at 37,089.78% for over $130.25 million. The volume of CHEX, on the other hand, surged by 151.80% to $1.68 million.

The impact of being in the said position is reflected on their token values. For instance, CHEX is listed at $0.06975, up by 42.85% over the last 24 hours. Similarly, BOUNTY has surged by 90.86% to $0.04009 during the same timeline.

That said, it is important to note that positions are subject to change based on several activities. Crypto traders and investors are recommended to research and assess risk in advance.

ETH to Reclaim its Spot?

It is anticipated that ETH could reclaim the second position on the list. This is based on the 3-month projection which forecasts a maximum gain of 80.79% – taking the trading value to around $5,898.71 amid the medium volatility of approximately 3.85%. However, ETH could also reclaim the position earlier.

The closest ETH price prediction has forecast a monthly growth of 11.91% to $3,651.35. The token is testing critical support and resistance levels of $3,120.92 and $3,334.00, applicable in the same order.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report.

UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
