The crypto market has experienced yet another turbulent day, sparking concern among investors globally. Leading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP fell, reflecting a broader market trend. The global crypto market cap slipped by 0.99%, reaching $2.23 trillion, while total market volume interestingly spiked by 12.5% to $82.04 billion. Against this backdrop, Dogecoin (DOGE) defied the overall trend, emerging as the day’s standout performer.
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.
Ethereum similarly shed 2.5% of its value, trading at $2,414. The day’s range saw Ethereum fluctuate between $2,359.58 and $2,483.05, leaving its market cap at $290.71 billion. Notably, Ethereum’s decline mirrors the $74.24 million in spot Ethereum ETF outflows.
Solana and XRP: Following the Decline
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. However, despite the dip, October transaction volumes and fees on Solana’s network rose, providing some positive signals.
XRP wasn’t spared either, dropping by 0.5% to $0.5048. The daily range of XRP fluctuated between $0.4968 and $0.5138, with a market cap of $28.70 billion. Investors are closely monitoring XRP, speculating whether decreased escrow shares could signal an upcoming rally toward the $10 mark.
Meme Coins: Dogecoin and Shiba Inu Defy the Trend
In a surprise twist, Dogecoin (DOGE) led the day with a 6% surge, trading at $0.1616. The day’s low and high were recorded at $0.1496 and $0.1659, respectively, spurring excitement among meme coin investors. Shiba Inu (SHIB) also climbed by 2% to $0.00001727. In contrast, Pepe (PEPE), dogwifhat (WIF), and POPCAT posted losses, ranging from 2% to 8%, reflecting the mixed sentiment in the meme coin sector.
Top Gainers and Losers in the Crypto Market
While Dogecoin took the spotlight, Monero (XMR) also rose by 2%, reaching $160. Meanwhile, MOG Coin posted a 3% gain, now trading at $0.000001788. On the downside, THORChain (RUNE) fell by a substantial 12%, dropping to $4.40. Similarly, PENDLE and MEW lost 9% and 6%, trading at $4.12 and $0.007879, respectively.
