The crypto prices today have mainly embarked upon an alarming bearish trend. Bitcoin (BTC) price witnessed a significant fall, reaching the $56K level.

Crypto Prices Today Mirror Investor Concerns

The DoJ’s crackdown on Nvidia appears to have rippled bearish waves across the broader market. While BTC traded at the $56K level, ETH slipped to $2,300. Simultaneously, XRP and SOL cracked 2%-6%.

Bitcoin Price Today

BTC price rested at $56,698 at press time, noting a nearly 4% drop in value in the past 24 hours. The flagship coin’s intraday low and high were $55,673.16 and $59,314.34, respectively.

Bitcoin’s phenomenal drop aligns with a staggering $287.78 million outflows in Bitcoin ETFs as of September 3. Nevertheless, BTC’s dominance rose 0.08% to 56.40% today, hinting at a comparatively poor momentum within the alts sector.

However, it’s also worth mentioning that investor concerns prevail in the market over future price action as BOJ looks to hike interest rates ahead.

Ethereum Price Today

Simultaneously, ETH price pulled back 6% in the past 24 hours and is currently trading at $2,373. The crypto’s 24-hour low and high were $2,313.27 and $2,524.76, respectively.

Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $47,40 million outflows as of September 3, per Soso Value data. The waning price movement falls in line with this market statistics.

Besides, it’s worth noting that U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump’s upcoming crypto project is anticipated to be built on Ethereum and Aave blockchains.

Solana Price Today

The crypto SOL’s price experienced a 6% dip in value to reach $128 today. Solana’s intraday lows and highs were $123.61 and $135.75, respectively.

Sui Chung, the CEO of CF Benchmarks, has recently refuted the chances of a SOL ETF happening.

XRP Price Today

Simultaneously, XRP price cracked 2% over the past day and is currently trading at $0.5527. The crypto’s intraday low and high were recorded as $0.5399 and $0.5719, respectively.

Meme Coins Prices Today

Similarly, the meme coins sector has mirrored a waning movement today. Dogecoin (DOGE) price witnessed a 3% dip in value and is currently trading at $0.09577. This drop aligns with whales losing interest in the token. Whale Alert data today spotlighted a massive 119 million DOGE dump to Robinhood.

Also, Shiba Inu (SHIB) price fell 4% over the past day to reach $0.0000131. Even PEPE, WIF, and FLOKI prices dipped 5%-7% today.
