Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, EOS, Stellar, and Litecoin sink lower

It has been a disappointing start to the week for the crypto market and declines are being seen across the board on Tuesday morning.

In fact, only three coins in the top fifty are in positive territory over the last 24 hours.

This has led to the entire value of the market dropping 2% over the period to US$291.2 billion according to Coin Market Cap.

According to Reuters, prices took a tumble after a sell-off in shares of technology and internet companies spilled over into other risky assets.

Here is the state of play this morning:

The Bitcoin (BTC) price is down 0.8% over the last 24 hours to US$8,129.61 per coin, reducing the world’s largest cryptocurrency’s market capitalization to just under US$139.7 billion.

The Ethereum (ETH) price has dropped 2.3% since this time yesterday to US$454.53 per token, leaving the altcoin with a market capitalization of US$45.9 billion.

The Ripple (XRP) price has fallen 1.9% over the period to 44.37 U.S. cents. This decline has left Ripple with a market capitalization of just over US$17.4 billion.

The Bitcoin Cash (BCH) price is down 1.8% during the last 24 hours to US$809.78, reducing the Bitcoin offshoot’s market capitalization to just under US$14 billion.

The EOS (EOS) price has been one of the worst performers during the period and is down 6.3% to US$7.74. This has left the altcoin with a market capitalization of US$6.9 billion.

Outside the top five, it was much of the same with the Stellar (XLM) price sinking 5%, Litecoin (LTC) down 1.7%, Cardano (ADA) falling 5.6%, and IOTA (MIOTA) dropping 3.5%.

The only coin in the top ten that is in positive territory during the period is the US dollar-pegged Tether (USDT). It rose slightly and returned to the top ten after the TRON (TRX) price sank a sizeable 9.5%.

The crypto market might be a little volatile over the next few days, which could mean that traders would be better off with this huge investment opportunity instead.
