The crypto market crash that began Friday shows no sign of abating, with all of the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap, expect for stablecoins, posting double-digit losses in the last 24 hours.
At the time of publishing, Bitcoin is down over 18% in the last 24 hours, currently trading at around $46,600, per CoinGecko. Ethereum is down over 15%, trading at around $3,870, while Polkadot is the biggest loser from the top 10 cryptocurrencies, dropping by over 24% to $27.47.
Since hitting its new all-time-high above $69,000 last month, Bitcoin has tumbled 32%.
The crash has wiped over a billion dollars from the total market cap of all cryptocurrencies, which has slumped by 16% in the last 24 hours to just over $2.3 trillion. Just a month ago, when Bitcoin hit its all-time-high, the total market cap peaked at just over $3 trillion.
Crypto prices have moved in tandem with a slump in the stock market. The Nasdaq ended Friday down 2% as tech stocks slipped, amid renewed economic uncertainty as the Omicron coronavirus variant continued its spread around the world. At the same time, there's mounting expectation that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates to stave off growing inflation.
Meanwhile, in China, the chair of embattled property giant Evergrande was summoned by the Guangdong government after the company said there was "no guarantee" it would have enough funds to meet debt repayments. The provincial government announced that it would, at Evergrande's request, send a team of officials to work on a restructuring plan for its offshore debt.

The fund’s “investment objective is to seek to provide exposure to the price of Tron,” the filing said. Nashville, Tennessee-based Canary has filed for a number of crypto ETFs. Th...
Should President Donald Trump make good on apparent threats to fire Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell, analysts tell Decrypt that the extraordinary move would likely throw the American political system into turmoil. But could it also be bullish for Bitcoin? On Thursday, Trump, who has unsuccessfully lobbied Powell to lower interest rates for weeks, said the Fed chair’s termination “cannot come fast enough.” While presidents often come into conflict with the Fed, which dictates U.S. monetary p...
Bitcoin miners may be struggling as the price of the biggest cryptocurrency by market value trades sideways, and investors sell off their equity—but stablecoin giant Tether is betting big on one of the sector's largest players, purchasing about $32 million in equity in publicly traded Bitdeer in April. An SEC filing shows Tether snapped up the shares as the price of Bitdeer’s stock dropped. Tether did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s questions, but the company has increased its interest in t...
