Ethereum has lost another 4% of value in the past 24 hours and even dipped to $2,200 earlier. BNB’s decrease is similar, and it struggles below $340. A few days ago, Binance Coin was riding high at above $380.

Cardano (-3%), Dogecoin (-4%), Ripple (-5%), Polkadot (-4%), Bitcoin Cash (-3%), Uniswap (-4.5%), Litecoin (-4%), and Solana (-6.5%) have lost even more value since yesterday.
