Crypto Price Today: Injective, HBAR Sees Bull Runs, RPL Price Continues Bears

The price of Bitcoin and other popular crypto coins is trading in the deep red. An abrupt liquidation over the previous few hours caused $1 billion in losses as the price of Bitcoin dropped to a two-month low and the digital asset markets experienced one of their biggest sell-offs of the year. The cryptocurrency market’s trading volume abruptly increased.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) price, was quite bearish today and was still below the $30,000 threshold at $25,955.13,  and down by more than 1% since yesterday. Other well-known altcoins, Dogecoin (DOGE), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), and Solana (SOL), also experienced losses on the other side of the border.

Ethereum is trading at $1,659.7, with almost 1% decrease in the last 24 hours. Among other prominent cryptocurrencies, the XRP coin price observed over 3% dip. Solana also faced a reduction, with its price plummeting by 0.19%. On the other hand, Polygon (MATIC), which traded on green lines a few days back, is down by more than 14% since the last day. On the contrary, the Polkadot coin price saw an increase of almost 2% in its price, in one day. 

The realm of meme cryptocurrencies tells a different story. In the past 24 hours, Dogecoin’s price witnessed an increase of more than 4%, while Shiba Inu’s token price is up by almost 5%, in the last 24 hours.

The crypto market today is mostly bearish with few exceptions. The global crypto market cap stands at $1.05 trillion. The 24-hour crypto market volume stands at $40.7 billion, with a 39% decrease.
