The crypto market this week remained volatile, today being no different. Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and other altcoins were trading with marginal losses but their trading volume was down by a significant margin. Meme coins like Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and others were also trading with losses.
Barry Silbert, CEO, DCG group, clarified that there is no bankruptcy threat to their group companies including crypto DeFi lender Genesis due to the FTX incident.
“Broader crypto markets have traded in a narrow range, after the massive selloffs in the previous two weeks, settling between a market capitalisation above $850 billion but remaining below $900 billion. The silver lining continued to be the improving global macro backdrop particularly in the US, where expectations of Fed slowing down on its hiking cycle gathered steam and resulted in a relief rally across ‘risk-on’ assets that was sustained over the week,” said Parth Chaturvedi, crypto ecosystem lead, CoinSwitch, a Indian crypto exchange.
The crypto market cap fell about 0.99 per cent to $829.05 billion and its trading volume was down by 23.36 per cent to $47.54 billion, according to data from Coinmarketcap.com at 8.50 am.
Today’s top gainer was BinaryX (BNX); it was up 8.3 per cent at $170.20. The top loser was UNUS SED LEO (LEO), which was trading at $3.88 with a loss of 8.19 per cent in the last 24 hours to Friday morning.
