Bitcoin

<p>The cryptocurrency universe witnessed quite the bustle today, February 22, following a slump in crypto prices, per data by CoinMarketCap. As the global market cap took a hit, plunging 1.62% to the $1.95 trillion mark, a bearish sentiment appears to be prevailing within the broader crypto market. Prominent cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana collectively witnessed a price slump today. This appears to come due to the massive crypto market liquidation witnessed yesterday, per <a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-market-bleeds-reasons-why-bitcoin-eth-sol-xrp-fell-suddenly/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CoinGape Media’s report</a>. However, sentiment for bolstered prices looms over the crypto horizon even though Fed’s stance on unchanged rates prevails. The crypto market appears to have witnessed the prior mentioned liquidation aligning with this.</p>
