Bitcoin and Ethereum: Major Players See Declines

In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has dropped by 2%, trading at $68,006. BTC saw its daily low and high at $66,803.65 and $69,335.33, respectively, with its market cap now at $1.35 trillion. The decrease in Bitcoin price coincides with reports of 579.49 million in spot ETF outflows, while a notable $2.2 billion BTC transfer from Mt. Gox indicates signs of asset reorganization. Bitcoin’s market dominance has also dipped slightly to 60.38%, underscoring increased investor uncertainty.

Solana (SOL) continued the downward trend, losing 3% to reach $158. Its 24-hour range fell between $155.17 and $164.71, while its market cap settled at $74.82 billion.
