The crypto market saw a significant drop in value as investors continued to abandon high-risk assets. 
Bitcoin led the decline with 16% and went below $50,000 in the last 24 hours, while Ethereum plummeted over 23% and at the time of writing is trading at $2,230. According to CoinStats, the total market cap is down 11%. At this point it stands at $1.84 trillion.

This decline in cryptocurrencies has coincided with a broader decline in equity markets in the Asia-Pacific region. Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell 10%, extending losses from the previous week, after the Bank of Japan announced an increase in its benchmark interest rate to a 16-year high. 
At the time of writing, the leading cryptocurrency has partially recovered and is trading at $51,900, down 27% in the last week, and its market cap has fallen to around $1 trillion. 
It was also reported that $1,000,000,000 was liquidated from the crypto market in the last 24 hours. 
The stock market also suffered a decline last week that was related in part to disappointing earnings, a weaker-than-expected jobs report, higher unemployment and a declining manufacturing sector.&nbsp; 
The U.S. Federal Reserve chose to hold its benchmark interest rate steady and did not promise a September rate cut, which many market experts had included in their forecasts. Lower interest rates usually correlate with better performance of risky assets.
