    Other top crypto tokens were also trading lower. BNB declined over 5%. Dogecoin, Polygon and Litecoin were also trading with cuts. The global cryptocurrency market cap was trading lower around $1.13 trillion, falling 1.96% in the last 24 hours.

    However, Ripple (XRP) surged over 7%. "The silver lining last week came from the Ripple v/s SEC case, where Ripple proponents are showing confidence that XRP will not be declared a security by the courts. This resulted in a ~21% rally in XRP prices over the week," Parth Chaturvedi, Crypto Ecosystem Lead at CoinSwitch, said.

    The total volume in DeFi is currently 3.82 billion, 8.80% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume. The volume of all stablecoins is now $39.06 billion, which is 90.05% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume.

    The market cap of Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, was around $523.24 billion. Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 46.10%, a fall of 0.32% over the day, according to CoinMarketCap.

    "Bitcoin is currently trading at around $27,000 and there is a possibility that it could drop as low as $25,200. If this happens, there could be a further drop to $22,609, and if this level is broken, it could send Bitcoin back below $20,000. However, if the bulls remain strong, a move up to $30,000 is also expected," Sathvik Vishwanath, Co-Founder & CEO of Unocoin, said.
