Today in Crypto
Bitcoin and altcoins slide with risk appetite
The crypto complex sells off as total market value falls and altcoins underperform Bitcoin.
Crypto ends lower across the board. Bitcoin falls 1.8% to 62,174.7891, Ethereum drops 1.8% to 1,736.6899, Solana falls 4.1% to 77.36, and XRP loses 2.0% to 1.09.
The total crypto market cap declines 2.38% to $2.2T. Bitcoin dominance sits at 55.9%, while Ethereum dominance is 9.4%, showing Bitcoin still commands the bulk of the market even as both majors lose ground.
Among the larger tokens, BNB falls 1.8% to 566.61 and Dogecoin drops 2.2% to 0.0726. The day’s weakness lines up with the broader risk-off tone in stocks and commodities, especially as oil spikes and volatility ticks higher.
On the news side, CoinDesk highlights Bitcoin-related positioning and broader crypto market chatter, but the price action today is simple: sellers have the upper hand.
