The crypto market has lost over $600,000,000 in the last 24 hours
-
Bitcoin has fallen below $80k and is leading the liquidations at $232 million
-
XRP and other meme coins, such as DOGE, also experienced declines
The crypto market is not doing as well as many thought it would. Over $600 million was liquidated on the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin is the market leader with $232 millions, followed by Ethereum at $111 million.
This may or may be not come as a shock, considering Donald Trump’s recent Crypto Summit was held just a few days back, and it was thought that the hype around that event will give a boost cryptocurrency, Bitcoin in particular.
Bitcoin fell below $80k. This was likely the reason for more sell-offs.
Altcoins also hit hard
Other cryptocurrencies did not fare much better. Ethereum suffered big losses and subsequently fell below $2k. XRP, Solana, and other cryptocurrencies are also affected. XRP liquidations totaled around $32 million while Solana’s was slightly lower at $28 millions.
Meme coins were not spared either. The most popular DOGE suffered a 12% drop.

Markus Thielen of 10x Research, the market advisory company, stated that when Bitcoin dropped below $80k, approximately 70% of the sales came from those who bought in the previous quarter. These actions are likely to be the result of panic selling.
Possible Reasons for the Crash
It’s difficult to say why this happened, but there could be multiple factors involved. The crypto market is a market that deals with finance, and is therefore susceptible to the same influences as the financial sector.
Investors are fleeing crypto due to Trump’s ongoing trade war with Canada and Mexico. The US government then imposed new restrictions on cryptocurrency exchanges and stabilizedcoins, which led to increased investor distrust.

Market Resilience
It doesn’t matter what the reason is, a liquidation of this magnitude can lead to a significant decline in market sentiment. However, it’s true that the crypto-market has experienced similar events before and has always bounced right back. It’s only natural to be cautious when considering potential moves.
