The market report revealed that the total crypto market volume over the last 24 hours slowed down to $87.22 billion, which makes a 33.61% decrease.

    The total volume in DeFi is currently $5.73 billion on the Exchange, accounting for 6.57% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume.  The volume of all stable coins reached $81.66 billion in the crypto market, which is 93.62% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume.
