The market cap for all cryptocurrencies has lost $22 billion over the last 24 hours – from $140 billion yesterday to $118 billion today.
Bitcoin has lost more than $600
Looking at the biggest cryptocurrencies, all of them show two-digit drops in prices. Bitcoin cash (-20,92%) and xrp (-17,32%) have lost the most, but also bitcoin (-14,92%), ethereum (-15,59%) and eos (-13,66%) have lost in value over the last day.
The world’s biggest cryptocurrency bitcoin is currently trading at about $3,693, a decline of over $600 from yesterday. Bitcoin dropped over $300 in less than an hour.
On the forum Reddit, several people speculate if the fall is due to the fact that one or more major players have sold large sums of bitcoin, which triggered several so-called “stop losses”, which is automatic sell orders, that made the price of bitcoin drop further.
The cryptocurrencies on top 100 that performed the best during the last 24 hours were odem (+4,46%) and ai (+3,33%), and those who performed the worst were metaverse etp (-24,04%) and mithrill (-23,25%).
