<p>The total crypto market cap slipped more than 8 percent in the past 24 hours to hover around $2.09 trillion on Friday, during the early European session. In four weeks, the cryptocurrency market dropped by about $600 billion in valuation, led by <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bitcoin</a> (BTC).&nbsp;</p>

<p>The cryptocurrency market has been responding to several negative events in the past few days. As the US Fed signaled further economic uncertainties, the UK’s top leadership has also changed as the Labor Party won the majority.</p> 
<p>The crypto industry has been reacting to the ongoing whale sell-offs triggered by the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/germanys-900-bitcoin-transfer-sparks-crypto-market-speculation/">German government</a>, which currently holds around 40k Bitcoins. According to on-chain data analysis, Bitcoin whales have offloaded more than 30k BTCs in the last month.</p> 
<p>Already, the demand for the United States-based spot Bitcoin ETFs has been on the decline in the last few weeks. Meanwhile, After more than a decade, Mt.Gox has begun the distribution of more than 100k Bitcoins, worth more than $7 billion to the customers.&nbsp;</p>
