Bitcoin’s price has experienced a significant drop in the past 24 hours, reaching a new two-month low of $25,300. However, other cryptocurrencies like XRP, LTC, BCH, and XLM have dumped even more than BTC. This drop follows a spike earlier in the week when BTC reached $29,700 and positive news regarding the listing of the first spot Bitcoin ETF on Euronext Amsterdam. Despite recovering slightly, BTC is still down more than 7% on the day. Its market cap has also decreased from over $570 billion to under $515 billion, and its dominance over other altcoins has decreased to 48.4% on CMC.
Key points:
– Bitcoin’s price dropped to a new two-month low of $25,300.
– Altcoins like XRP, LTC, BCH, and XLM have experienced even larger drops.
– BTC initially spiked to $29,700 and received positive news regarding the listing of the first spot Bitcoin ETF.
– Despite a slight recovery, BTC is still down over 7% on the day.
– BTC’s market cap has decreased and its dominance over altcoins has also taken a hit.
Hot Take: Bitcoin’s recent nosedive and the larger drops in altcoins demonstrate the volatility of the cryptocurrency market. While positive news can lead to temporary increases, sell-off events like BTC ETF listings can quickly reverse these gains. Investors and traders should closely monitor market trends and be prepared for sudden price movements.
