The crypto market has faced a fall of $10 billion recently. This sudden and rapid fall has just came in the crypto market before Facebook’s Libra testimony in congress.
This sudden fall in the crypto market occurred an hour before the founder of Facebook was going to appear in front of Congress for the testimony of the Libra Project.
In the market, such a bearish crisis was already flourishing as the crypto market has been shaking for some time. Some of the digital assets have already faced losses recently.
The fall in the crypto market was noticed at the start of the American trading day. The market capitalization of the world’s leading cryptocurrency bitcoin has decreased down by more than $3 billion. Apart from bitcoin, there has also been a loss above 5% in the market caps of some other top crypto assets such as Ether (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), and Ripple (XRP).
Only USDT and TUSD gains 2%
The whole market has been under a massive fall. But while there are some cryptocurrencies who succeeded to gain some points during this crisis. These are the stablecoins: Tether (USDT) and TrueUSD (TUSD).
Both of these stablecoins have gained by 2% while trading. But the remaining crypto market has traded in the loss.
