<p>The cryptocurrency market displayed weakness in early morning trade in Asia on Monday. The leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin witnessed a drop in its prices as the optimism about <a href="https://coingape.com/spot-bitcoin-etf-approved-heres-why-grayscale-is-the-biggest-winner/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exchange-traded funds (ETFs)</a> tracking Bitcoin evaporated.</p> 
<p>The Crypto Fear and Greed Index hit a three-month low, falling back to “neutral” – for the first time since October last year. This implies that investors have become more cautious since the launch of US-listed spot Bitcoin products.</p> 
<p>Earlier this month, the OG cryptocurrency Bitcoin surged to almost $49,000, the highest level in nearly 2 years, in anticipation of the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US. However, <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin (BTC) prices</a> have dropped since and stood at $42,578 at press time, down 0.06% over the last 24 hours. Bitcoin’s market cap fell to 834.4 billion while trading volumes were up nearly 10% in the past 24 hours at $19.3 billion.</p> 
<p>Ethereum — the second largest crypto by market cap — also saw a 1.5% decline in its prices over the last 24 hours and was changing hands at $2,510 at the time of writing. While Ether’s market cap slid to $301.7 billion, trading volumes nosedived over 7% to $10.1 billion in the past 24 hours.</p> 
<p>While Tether (USDT) prices remained flat, BNB prices jumped over 3.6% to $313.11, while XRP prices stood at $0.58, up nearly 4% over the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, Solana (SOL) price fell by 0.8%, and Cardano (ADA) price declined by over 1%.</p> 
<p>Both Avalance (AVAX) and Dogecoin were trading in the green at press time, while Shiba Inu (SHIB) saw a nearly 0.9% drop in its prices in the past 24 hours. The global crypto market fell 0.12% to $1.68 trillion.</p>
