Bitcoin’s market cap slipped to $806 billion while trading volumes rose over 30% to $26.6 billion in the last 24 hours.
Ethereum — the third largest crypto — also went into a descent, sliding 2.8% over the last 24 hours to $2,460. At press time, Ether commanded a market cap of $295.5 billion while trading volumes stood at $11.9 billion, up 18% over the last 24 hours.
While Tether (USDT) price rose marginally to $0.99, BNB climbed 0.6% to $311.25. The remaining top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap saw a steep decline in their prices in the past 24 hours.
Solana (SOL) price was down 6.7%, XRP price was off 3%, Cardano (ADA) price was down 5%, and Avalanche (ADA) price plunged over 7%. Popular meme coins, Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) slid over 3% each.
