The cryptocurrency’s drop came after the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost more than 1,000 points and the Nasdaq dropped 5% on May 5. These numbers recorded the biggest drop since 2020. The Dow Jones and Nasdaq continued to plunge the next day.
Meanwhile, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) on May 4 raised interest rates by half a percentage point to cope with inflationary pressures.
According to data from CoinGecko.com, the global crypto market cap has been dragged down to $645 billion. Cryptocurrency trading volume for the day is $29 billion.
