Bitcoin down 2.86% in the last 24 hours and the total market cap at $2.71 trillion. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 51, indicating a neutral market sentiment.
The HTX DAO price is currently $0.00000162, showing a 7-day decline of 1.45% and a market cap of $1.44 billion. The limited price reaction suggests that investors may have anticipated such regulatory developments.
