Cryptocurrency Market Sees Red as Bitcoin and Ethereum Suffer Losses; FTX Token Hits Bottom

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) witnessed a decline this past Monday, with its price slipping below the significant $43,000 threshold. This downturn in the market wrapped a blanket of uncertainty around the cryptocurrency's stability as investors across the globe watched its value dip.

Disheartening Performance for Ethereum

Following Bitcoin's trajectory, Ethereum (ETH/USD) also faced a setback, its trading price falling beneath the crucial $2,300 mark. The widespread losses in the crypto market suggest a cautious sentiment among traders concerning the short-term future of these digital assets.

A Mixed Bag for Altcoins

While the market leaders struggled, Injective (INJ/USD) surfaced as a noteworthy performer, boasting its position as the leading gainer over the previous 24 hours. In stark contrast, the FTX Token (FTT/USD) bore the brunt of the bearish wave, becoming the worst hit amongst its peers.

The digital currency landscape saw a shrinkage in the global crypto market cap, which tumbled down to $1.58 trillion. This represented a notable 24-hour decrease of 3.2%, echoing the drop in investor confidence. BTC, in particular, was traded at a depreciated value of $42,218, marking a 3.6% decline, while ETH depreciated as well, by nearly 4.4%, with a recorded price of $2,243 on the same day.
