Crypto Market Plummets Following Bitcoin Drop: Key Factors

Cryptocurrency markets faced a severe decline on Wednesday as Bitcoin (BTC) sharply dropped, attributed to an increase in U.S. Treasury yields. The situation was further exacerbated by the rise in the PMI index.

Increased Market Volatility

The global crypto market saw a decline of approximately 6%, dipping below the $3.38 trillion mark. However, trading volumes surged by 27% in response to the downturns, reaching $162 billion. This increase indicates heightened liquidity in the market and shows that investors are actively repositioning their investments.

Performance of Notable Altcoins

In addition to Bitcoin, major altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Solana (SOL) also faced significant drops. Ethereum’s price fell by 8% to $3,383. Solana experienced a similar 8% decline, dropping to $199. XRP’s market capitalization fell by 3%, reaching $134 billion.

Meme Coins Follow Market Trends

Meme coins also mirrored the overall market trend, experiencing losses. Dogecoin (DOGE) lost 10%, while Shiba Inu (SHIB) fell by 9%. Other meme coins, such as PENGU, BONK, and PEPE, saw declines of between 10-12% in the last 24 hours.

Among the top 100 cryptocurrencies, only Bitget Token (BGB) stood out with a 6% increase. On the other hand, Hyperliquid (HYPE) experienced a 15% drop, while dYdX saw a decline of 13%, marking them as the worst performers. Despite recent volatility, it is crucial for investors in the crypto market to remain cautious and closely monitor market trends. High liquidity and increasing trading volumes can create opportunities but also heighten risks.
