Highlights

  • The global crypto market cap saw a significant 3% dip today, June 18.
  • Bitcoin and Ethereum prices extended a bearish movement.
  • The broader crypto market followed this tumbled movement although XRP noted slight gains.

The crypto prices today rode a bearish wave as Bitcoin (BTC) slipped to the $65K mark, whereas Ethereum (ETH) showed signs of a pullback. Altcoins Solana (SOL) and others mainly followed, with Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) meme coins noting a dip of 9%-13%. However, XRP traded in the green, defying broader market trends.

The global crypto market cap saw a significant 3.14% decline to $2.35 trillion, although the total crypto market volume from yesterday spiked 104.01% to $94.07 billion. This follows whopping outflows recorded across the crypto sector, triggered by the U.S. Fed’s recent hawkish stance.
