Other leading cryptocurrencies also recorded losses. BNB fell by 3.23%, XRP by 4.60%, Solana (SOL) by 4.09%, Dogecoin (DOGE) by 5.18%, and Cardano (ADA) by 4.96%.
Analysts attribute the current downturn in the cryptocurrency market to weakening global risk appetite, uncertainty surrounding U.S. monetary policy, and a technical correction observed in recent weeks. At the same time, increased selling pressure in altcoins has deepened the overall market decline.
