Bitcoin (BTC) Dips Below $26,000
Bitcoin, the pioneering cryptocurrency, recently fell below the $26,000 mark. This drop can be attributed to ongoing uncertainties surrounding the potential launch of a Bitcoin spot Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) in the United States.
Altcoins Follow Suit
Notably, other major altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), and Solana (SOL) have also seen declines in value.
Stellar (XLM) Shines as Top Gainer
Among the cryptocurrencies, Stellar (XLM) stands out as the top performer with a 24-hour gain of nearly 3 percent. On the flip side, GALA recorded the largest loss with a 24-hour dip of nearly 6 percent.
