Price update: ETH, CRO, FLOKIETH price

The crypto market is looking to end January on a positive note after Bitcoin (BTC) witnessed a sharp drop to below $98k before rebounding.

However, with BTC struggling to break past $106k and Ethereum (ETH) constrained below $3,500, its the small-cap tokens that are showing notable gains.

Ethereum price rose to highs of $3,437, gaining by more than 5% at one point.

This came likely as on-chain data showed World Liberty Financial had purchased $10 million of ETH.

However, the price is back below $3,350 and hovers near the $3.3k level. Open interest for ETH is $32.9 billion.

CRO, FLOKI price

FLOKI, one of the meme coins to struggle in recent months, rose more than 10% to $0.0001448 before shedding the gains as BTC, and ETH also traded lower.

The token rose as Coinbase announced support for Gigachad (GIGA), Turbo (TURBO), and FLOKI for New York residents.

Cronos (CRO), the native token of the Cronos chain by Crypto.com, was down 1.3% despite a major integration with LayerZero.

Cronos Labs announced earlier that LayerZero was live on Cronos EVM and Cronos zkEVM, enabling interoperability with 115 blockchains.

This includes Ethereum and Solana.

The CRO price hovered around $0.13 but could flip bullish amid the positive network development.
