Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin (BTC) has seen approximately a 1% drop, currently trading at around $67,065. The day’s low was recorded at $65,621, with a peak of $68,722.16. Despite a notable $402.08 million influx into spot Bitcoin ETFs as of October 25, BTC has continued its descent. Interestingly, Bitcoin’s market dominance rose slightly by 0.47%, now at 58.31%, suggesting altcoins have suffered heavier losses.

ETH reached an intraday low of $2,381.45, while its high was noted at $2,563.73. This decline coincides with a reported $19.16 million outflow from Ethereum ETFs, signaling reduced demand. Vitalik Buterin‘s recent remarks on Ethereum scalability and the role of Helios added some positive sentiment but have yet to curb the downward price pressure.

Despite broader market trends, Solana (SOL) is trading around $167, with a notable daily low at $160.04 and high at $177.00. While Solana’s price has slipped by roughly 4%, its market cap remains stable at $77.8 billion, showing resilience amidst significant sell-offs. In contrast, XRP has risen by nearly 3% in the past day, trading at $0.5109. XRP’s day low hit $0.4936, and its peak at $0.5289 marks a rare positive trend, offering some optimism to XRP holders in these turbulent times.<img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53669" src="https://thebitjournal.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image-89-1.png" alt="Tough Day for Crypto Investors: What’s Happening in the Market Today? = The Bit Journal" width="1274" height="589" title="Tough Day for Crypto Investors: What’s Happening in the Market Today? 48">

For meme coin enthusiasts, today isn’t looking much better. Dogecoin (DOGE) fell by approximately 4%, priced at $0.1337. Meanwhile, Shiba Inu (SHIB) had an upswing, rising by around 6% to trade at $0.00001675. Despite fluctuations, meme coins like PEPE, WIF, and BONK mirrored broader market dips, each down about 8% in the past day.<img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-53670" src="https://thebitjournal.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image-90-1.png" alt="Tough Day for Crypto Investors: What’s Happening in the Market Today? = The Bit Journal" width="1275" height="574" title="Tough Day for Crypto Investors: What’s Happening in the Market Today? 49">
