Shiny Coins #29 – Frog Memes and Privacy Shields Spark Heat as Sentiment Turns Neutral

While Bitcoin dominance holds near 58% and the Fear & Greed Index slides to Neutral, a handful of memecoins, privacy plays, and AI-linked tokens are still lighting up the tape this week. As of October 23, 2026, Bitcoin trades near $81,700, roughly flat over the past week, while its dominance holds firm around 57.9%. Total crypto market capitalization sits near $2.84 trillion, relatively stable but with a slight risk-off tone after earlier greed. The Fear & Greed Index has dropped to 50 (Neutral) from 68 (Greed) the previous day, signaling a cooldown from recent optimism.
