The prices of various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and altcoins, continue to decline despite hopes for sustainable growth. Over $2 trillion has been wiped out from the crypto market in the last 140 days, with Bitcoin down 50%, ETH down 62%, and XRP down 56%. Markets moved into risk-off mode as BTC slipped below $65K, and macro pressure from Trump's tariff proposals and a recent Supreme Court ruling has injected volatility into traditional markets. Large visible sales, such as Vitalik Buterin's recent ETH sales, can also influence short-term price behavior.
