Crypto markets are seeing a modest recovery after yesterday’s steep drawdown.

Per Coinbase, BTC has rebounded around 13% in the last 24 hours to roughly $56,000 after hitting a low of $49,500 — the lowest since February 2024. Similarly, ETH has recovered to $2,513 — an 18.6% upswing in the last day — bouncing back from a drop to $2,119, a level not seen since December 2023.

The total crypto market cap excluding BTC and ETH has recovered from a weekly low of $472 million to $540 billion, marking a 14.4% gain.

Leading the altcoin recovery was Bittensor (TAO), which posted a 35% gain to $263 over the past day.

However, bitcoin ETFs continued to experience net outflows totaling $168.4 million, with the largest selloffs coming from Grayscale’s GBTC at $69.1 million and ARK 21Shares’ ARKB at $69 million.

Meta-aggregators like Titan and Kamino Swap improve price execution for users, making the Solana swapping landscape more competitive. Jupiter has incorporated meta-aggregation features into its latest routing engine to keep users on its front end (own the user, own the flow). At large, teams are treating swaps as a commoditized complement, offering incredibly cheap or free swaps to own the end-user and increase demand for high-margin product offerings (multi-product DeFi). On another note, the divergence in the concentration of aggregator volume between DEXs suggests increased specialization at the DEX layer by asset type.
