    Crypto Market Sinks as Bitcoin Plunges by 5.6%

    The global crypto market cap fell sharply $2.08 trillion, a 5.43% decrease over the last day after massive price decline in Bitcoin.

    Today, the total crypto market volume over the last 24 hours has reached $91.54 billion, which makes a 38.93% increase over the day, according to CoinMarketCap.com.

    Also, the total volume in DeFi is currently $4.27 billion, which makes 4.67% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume traded across the exchange. The volume of all stable coins reached $85.58 billion, which is 93.48% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume.

    The altcoins have bled out heavily as well, with notable declines from the likes of ETH, SOL, DOGE, LINK, AVAX, SHIB, and others. The total value of liquidations is well above $300 million.

    The altcoins have suffered even more. Ethereum has dumped by over 8% and now struggles below $2,500. SOL, DOGE, AVAX, SHIB, BCH, DOT, and LINK have charted losses of up to 8%.

    Double-digit price declines are evident from the likes of MATIC, SUI, FET, TAO, and PEPE. The crypto market cap has seen more than $100 billion gone daily.

    This volatility has harmed over-leveraged traders, as nearly 90,000 have been liquidated in the past 24 hours. The total value of wrecked positions is north of $320 million. The single-largest order took place on Binance and was worth more than $12.5 million.

    Bitcoin is now trading at $59, 200, lost 5.60% of its market value in 24 hours. Ethereum is down by more than 8% to $2, 467 following rasp of selloffs that this the second largest asset in the crypto space.
