The crypto market started the day with stagnancy as reflected in the charts. The excitement over ETFs last week had invigorated the market, but the subsequent sell-off wave had shaken it. Nonetheless, some altcoins continue to show movements diverging from Bitcoin.
Current Status of Bitcoin and Altcoins
The recent market downturn is thought to be related to the exhaustion of all enthusiasm for Spot Bitcoin ETFs. Nevertheless, after the approval of the Spot ETF, Bitcoin’s price had risen to the $49,000 level but later fell below its current level of $43,000.
As of writing, the Bitcoin price has increased by 0.75% to $42,870, with a 9.24% change in the 24-hour trading volume. This volume increase brought the value to $21.05 billion. On the other hand, the over 8% drop in the seven-day price performance showed how inclined BTC investors are to leave the market.
Ethereum, the king of altcoins, saw its price increase by 0.94% to $2,532.13 at the time of writing, but its 24-hour trading volume decreased by 15% to $8.59 billion.
On the other hand, the price of Binance exchange’s native token BNB was trading in the region of $315.77, up 0.58% from yesterday, with an incredible increase in the one-day trading volume. The surge in investor interest resulted in a 97.96% increase, reaching $1.73 billion.
Meanwhile, last year’s star Solana saw a 0.32% decrease in price compared to yesterday and continues to trade below $100 on Tuesday, January 16, finding buyers in the $96.05 region. XRP, another highly notable altcoin in the crypto world, experienced a 1.49% loss in value and is trading at $0.5766.
Investor interest in PEPE, a major competitor to SHIB and DOGE, continues on social media. However, as of Tuesday, the price of Pepe Coin fell by 0.91% to $0.000001216. The trading volume decreased by 12.35%, falling to $54.18 million. The seven-day price movement was relatively more notable, reflecting a 2.27% increase.
Best Performing Altcoins of the Day
Flare hosted significant price increases since yesterday and proved once again to be on investors’ radar on January 16. As of writing, the price of Flare increased by 34.46% to $0.02344, and the transaction volume in the last 24 hours increased by 1125%, raising the price to $111.59 million.
Some developments that may have triggered the recent surge in Flare (FLR) price occurred. It is thought that Google Cloud becoming a validator and stepping into Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) may have contributed to this.
Another coin that has been frequently mentioned recently, Blur, was among the winners in the crypto market on January 16, reflecting the increasing investor interest. At the time of writing, the price of Blur increased by 17.62% to $0.668, with a 123.99% increase in trading volume reaching $454.48 million.
