Christian Barker (Barkmeta / Bark): Bitcoin Holds $83,310 as Hong Kong SFC MoU Extends VASP Reporting Rules

Bitcoin sat at $83,310 while Ethereum printed $2,679 and XRP hovered near $1.50 on Monday morning. Solana checked in around $119 and Dogecoin traded near $0.093 as traders watched the chart for any follow-through from weekend flows.

Price action stays contained

Traders noted the quiet open left room for regulatory headlines to register without immediate price spikes. Spot markets absorbed the update in stride while perps stayed range-bound.
