Crypto Market Takes a Downturn
The cryptocurrency market took a negative turn over the past week, with most coins trading in the red. This shift follows weeks of increases and appears to be a predictable correction.
Bitcoin’s price is experiencing a 3% loss, dropping to around $36,000 at the moment. Despite rallying to $38,000 on Thursday, the leading cryptocurrency quickly retracted to the $36,000 level, signaling a healthy correction.
Unfortunately, most of the market is faring worse, with a few exceptions. Solana (SOL) is the best-performing altcoin from the top 10, up 8.5% over the week, and Dogecoin (DOGE) is also in the green. However, other major cryptocurrencies like ETH, BNB, and XRP have experienced significant losses.
Still, despite price declines, the week brought some positive developments, including BlackRock’s official filing for a spot Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded fund (ETF) and Tether’s announcement of a $500 million investment in Bitcoin mining infrastructure.
