Crypto Market Cap Falls 5.63% to $2.74 Trillion

TLT Market Desk — The total cryptocurrency market capitalization decreased by 5.63% over the past 24 hours, falling to $2.74 trillion. This downturn reflects a broader market correction affecting most major digital assets.

Bitcoin experienced a 3.43% decline, dropping to $81,261, while Ethereum fell by 3.64% to $2,385.07. Bitcoin's dominance remained strong at approximately 59.5%, indicating it continues to lead market movements.

The biggest gainer was Akedo (AKE), which rose by 30.91%. This increase appears to be driven by market-specific factors rather than any clear news catalyst. Bitway (BTW) and MemeCore (M) also saw gains of 17.03% and 16.68% respectively, with the latter's rise attributed to increased trading activity.

On the losing side, Stacks (STX) was the biggest decliner, falling 12.18%. This drop is likely due to broader market conditions. Other notable losers included Pump.fun (PUMP), Pearl (PEARL), and Lighter (LIT), all of which saw declines between 9.92% and 11.36%, also attributed to negative market sentiment.

Market sentiment remains at a Neutral level, with the Fear & Greed Index at 50. This suggests that despite the downturn, investor sentiment has not yet shifted to extreme fear.
