Due to a dramatic drop in trading volumes, a waning of interest in the Ethereum Merge upgrade, and Terra tokens’ tax burn plan, the cryptocurrency market lost its $1 trillion threshold. The market capitalization of all cryptocurrencies is at $975 billion on Sunday, although trade volumes have decreased by more than 26% so far in the day. Ethereum is a little over $1,450 while Bitcoin is trading at above $20,000. Cryptocurrency ApeCoin has had the best 24-hour performance.
At the time of writing, the worldwide crypto market cap was trading at $974.89 billion on CoinMarketCap, up 1.26 over the previous day. However, the entire volume of the cryptocurrency market performed at $47.15 billion, down by 26.12% from the previous day.
DeFi’s 24-hour volume is present at $3.77 billion, or 8% of the overall 24-hour volume of the cryptocurrency market. While the combined volume of stablecoins is currently $42.91 billion, accounting for 91.02% of the 24-hour volume of the whole crypto market.
Over 1% of Bitcoin increased in a day. The value of the biggest cryptocurrency is over $20,050. The market value of cryptocurrencies is $384.61 billion.
In the past 24 hours, Ethereum has increased by about 2%, trading at about $1,455. Over $178.5 billion is the market valuation of cryptocurrencies.
XRP increased by more than 6% among the top 10 cryptocurrencies, while Solana increased by more than 3%. In the meanwhile, about 2% was gained by Cardano and Dogecoin. Other cryptocurrencies, such as Tether, USD Coin, BNB, and Binance USD, only experienced slight changes during the last day.
Ethereum is now the second-largest cryptocurrency on the market, behind Bitcoin. At the moment, Bitcoin holds a 39.44% market share.
With an upside of around 18% and a current price of $5.60, ApeCoin is the market leader. The top 5 gainers included ApeCoin as well as other cryptocurrencies Celsius, Lido Dao, XRP, and Chiliz, with price increases ranging from 5 to 18%.
But over the past week, Ethereum lost more than 17% of its value while Bitcoin fell more than 7%. DogeCoin, BNB, Cardano, and Solana have all decreased by 2–5%. ApeCoin increased by over 10%.
The eagerly anticipated Ethereum Merge finally went live last week. Ethereum’s move to proof-of-stake consensus has been accomplished by The Merge, formally deprecating proof-of-work and consuming 99.95% less energy.
We’ve run out of near-term positive catalysts and we’re running into a wall of pessimistic macro sentiment now that the Merge has (quite effectively) completed, said Henry Elder, head of decentralized finance at Wave Financial, according to Bloomberg.
