Cryptocurrency Market Bleeds
Data from CoinMarketCap shows the majority of the top 100 cryptocurrencies are in the red. Bitcoin has lost 8.3% over one day, dropping to $87,950. The market is reacting to the introduction of U.S. tariffs, alongside significant institutional fund outflows.
Impact on Bitcoin and Ethereum
Bitcoin is under price pressure due to discussions on U.S. tariffs and large institutional outflows. Meanwhile, Shiba Inu has fallen 13% to $0.00001342, and Ethereum lost 15% in value, reaching $2,384.
The unusual surge in SHIB burning occurs alongside a general crypto market downturn influenced by external factors, including U.S. economic policies.
