<\/p>\nBitcoin and altcoins alike, the entire crypto space takes a beating, losing $350 billion in market cap in just 48 hours.<\/p>\n
As a result, the market cap is just around 1.2 trillion today, the lowest it has been since the start of the year.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin price dropped below $30k due to the fud caused by China‘s recent crypto crackdown movements. As it usually is the case, the other coins also dipped in response to that.<\/p>\n
