Cryptocurrency prices were in the red with Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) trading with losses and other altcoins like Solana (SOL) also fell. Meanwhile, PAX Gold (PAXG), which is a gold-based crypto stablecoin, was the top gainer among cryptos today.
Binance (BNB) was the most trending crypto as it sold $500 million worth of FTT tokens over the weekend, which then triggered a fall in the value of the token and shattered the asset valuation of crypto exchange FTX, which largely consisted of its own FTT token.
The crypto market cap fell about 11.07 per cent to $913.66 billion and its trading volume was up by 140.47 per cent to $215.5 billion, according to data from Coinmarketcap.com at 8.50 am.
