The available report does not identify a specific catalyst, limiting conclusions about what triggered the move or whether a separate market event was responsible.
The broader market was broadly lower, with total crypto market capitalization at $2.53 trillion. Bitcoin’s $1.48 trillion market capitalization accounted for the largest share, while Ethereum and XRP had market caps of $255.43 billion and $68.81 billion, respectively. The Fear & Greed index stood at 29, within the “Fear” range. Watch whether Bitcoin can regain $74,000 and whether Ethereum and XRP hold their reported threshold levels.
