Crypto Prices Today: Bitcoin Retreats, Altcoins Follow Suit While KAS Surges
Release: 2024/01/03 12:14 Reading: 439
Red was the dominant color all over the cryptocurrency charts on Wednesday morning. The OG cryptocurrency Bitcoin fell, retreating from the nearly two-year high but prices were still hovering around the peak of the recent rally.
Other cryptocurrencies followed suit, leaving crypto investors jittery. However, Bitcoin’s recent price surge has spurred calls for a new crypto bull market, buoyed by expectations that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will approve a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) by Jan 10.
Bitcoin price slid 0.36% over the last 24 hours to $45,256, with its market capitalization at $886.54 billion. The 24-hour trading volume, however, jumped nearly 28% to $32.7 billion.
Beyond Bitcoin, Ethereum — the second largest crypto — fell 0.82% to $2,368. At press time, its market capitalization stood at $284.67 billion. Ether’s trading volume over the last 24 hours surged over 37% to $11.68 billion.
Other tokens were also weak, with Tether price down 0.05% and BNB off 2.08%. Solana plunged over 3% in the last 24 hours to below $108 while XRP shed more than 1%. Memecoins also fell, with Dogecoin dropping 1.34%, and Shiba Inu sliding 1.78%.
The drop in prices of cryptocurrencies was reflected in the global crypto market, which slid nearly 0.47% to $1.73 trillion. However, the fear and greed index level stood at 74, indicating investor sentiment is greed, meaning they’re still keen on buying.
