After falling to 62,500 earlier in the week, it rebounded to 70,000 on Wednesday, only to lose momentum again. Following the latest geopolitical escalation, BTC fell below 62,800 before stabilizing near 63,400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s market capitalization has slipped to roughly 1.275 trillion dollars, while its dominance has dipped below 56 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Altcoins Hit Hard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Losses across altcoins have been widespread. Ethereum has dropped to around 1,850, shedding about 200 dollars in recent days. BNB moved ahead of XRP in market capitalization after XRP declined around 9 percent. Solana has fallen below 80 following double digit losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional steep declines have been recorded in ADA, HYPE, BCH, DOGE, LINK, and XLM. KCS, PIPPIN, and STABLE are among the worst performers, posting losses of up to 20 percent. Gold backed stablecoins have been one of the few segments showing gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than 100 billion dollars has been wiped from the total crypto market capitalization over the past 24 hours, pushing it well below 2.3 trillion dollars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto markets turned sharply lower over the weekend after Israel carried out strikes on Iran and US President Donald Trump confirmed American involvement.
