Crypto Market Decline and Contributing Factors
The cryptocurrency market has experienced a significant downturn, with Bitcoin plunging over 8% and trading below $90,000 for the first time since November. Other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Solana, and Ripple faced even steeper losses, falling by double-digit percentages. This decline has been attributed to multiple factors, including a risk-off sentiment among investors, the fallout from a recent Bybit hack, and several US states opting against adding Bitcoin to their financial reserves. Additionally, the ongoing trade tensions, exacerbated by new tariffs announced by the Trump administration, have contributed to negative market sentiment.
