Crypto Market Witnesses Major Price Drops, Meme Coins Take the Biggest Hit
Due to a decline in investor sentiment, the cryptocurrency market has plummeted, resulting in significant price drops across all cryptocurrencies. Starting with Bitcoin's fall to $56,382, altcoins have also faced severe challenges.
Amidst the decline, selling pressure has intensified as crypto traders seek to secure any possible gains. The fear of Bitcoin's further decline has sparked concerns of a potential bear market.
In this bear market, meme coins have suffered the most significant losses, with their market cap plummeting by 7.76%. One previously inactive crypto trader has re-entered the market, selling meme coins and generating millions despite the overall market downturn.
