Crypto Market Loses $200 Billion As Bitcoin Plunges appeared on www.newsbtc.com by Denis.
Some days back, the crypto market was celebrating a significant rally in the price of major cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin hit a remarkable recovery surpassing the $20K level to $21,500.
However, the story quickly changed as the FTT crash dragged the other tokens down. Due to the ongoing FTX crisis in the crypto space, many assets have recorded new all-time lows.
Latest reports show that BTC has hit a two-year low, plummeting to $15,500 and leaving the market with a $200 billion loss. It all began with a clash of interest between Binance and FTX, which drove the former’s decision to liquidate its FTT holdings irregularities. Not long after the feud, FTX liquidated its ETH holdings amid rumors of insolvency issues.
Bitcoin Plummets To A Two-Year Low
The cascade effect landed on Bitcoin. Within hours after the celebration, the multi-week high above $21,500, Bitcoin crash-landed to $17,000. As the crisis continued, Bitcoin recorded another decline on Bitstamp yesterday. Finally, bitcoin slumped to $15,500, an all-time low since November 2020.
Although BTC has recovered over $1000 since the last slump, its valuation – 6.81% down – is still below the psychological level. Nevertheless, it maintains a market cap above $317 billion and 38.4% dominance.
Bitcoin is not the only receiver of the hard blow in the market recently; other cryptocurrencies got even more. For example, Ethereum dropped from $1,600 to nearly $1,100 but recovered slightly above $1,300.
Binance Coin (BNB) also went down the drain, dropping by 8.87% after a short rally to $400 with news of the FTX acquisition. BNB further pushed down with reports that Binance would no longer move forward with the FTX acquisition.
Solana, which went down to $9 yesterday, now trades at $14 with a 17% decline. Given the news of the upcoming event to Unlock SOL tokens, Solana may meet more volatility today. The total crypto market has lost about $200 billion since the FTX/Binance feud began.
FTX Token Tumbles Further As Binance Withdrew Plans of Acquisition
Meanwhile, FTT’s situation is terrible. The token has incurred an additional 42% loss in value and now trades at $2.76. Given the circumstances surrounding FTX’s situation, including the alleged investigations against the firm, Binance has pulled out of its plans to acquire the exchange.
In the announcement, Binance noted that it hoped to assist FTX in providing liquidity to settle its customers. However, it cannot overlook the fact that FTX misused customers’ funds. Binance condemned FTX’s bad business practices, saying that such actors must be removed from the market.
The crypto exchange also said a regulatory framework and decentralization transition would strengthen the crypto industry.
Binance’s comments are in line with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong’s opinions, which he aired on Tuesday. Armstrong believes that a clear regulatory framework and adoption of decentralized exchanges will prevent problems such as the FTX crisis.
