What Happened in Crypto Today? Market Decline, Bitcoin Struggles, and Binance Tokens Surge

The global digital asset market saw a downturn today, with the total valuation standing at $2.77 trillion, marking a 3.25% drop. However, 24-hour trading volume surged by 16.18% to $88.38 billion. DeFi volumes accounted for $6.31 billion, making up 7.14% of the total, while stablecoins dominated with $86.25 billion, or 97.60% of the total trading activity. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s dominance in the market rose slightly to 61.09%, showing a 0.37% increase.

Bitcoin Struggles Amid Market Uncertainty

Bitcoin has been struggling to gain upward momentum, currently priced at $85,104.81 after falling 2.71% in the last 24 hours. Its marketcap also dropped to $1.68 trillion, reflecting the same percentage decline. Despite this, trading volume increased by 19.24%, indicating strong activity.

One possible reason for Bitcoin’s dip could be the anticipated announcement of new tariffs by Donald Trump on Liberation Day. Historically, such economic decisions have affected market sentiment, causing digital assets to decline. Analysts recall a similar market reaction in the past, where Bitcoin and other digital currencies took nearly a week to recover. However, influential figures like Michael Saylor remain bullish, encouraging investors to hold their assets. Meanwhile, some traders on social media suggest that Bitcoin may soon see a major breakout, pushing it towards $120,000.

Crypto.com Clears SEC Probe

In regulatory news, Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek announced that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has closed its investigation into the exchange without taking action. The probe, which began with a Wells notice in August, was part of the SEC’s broader scrutiny of trading platforms.

Marszalek criticized the past SEC leadership, stating that there was an effort to stifle the industry by restricting access to financial services. The regulatory environment appears to be shifting, with the new acting SEC chair Mark Uyeda rolling back enforcement actions against several firms, including Coinbase, Consensys, and Robinhood. Crypto.com also recently partnered with Trump Media to launch “Made in America” exchange-traded funds (ETFs), further strengthening its market presence.

Mubarak Coin Faces a Sharp Decline

Mubarak Coin, which was recently listed on Binance after winning the “Vote to List” event, saw a dramatic 40% drop in just 24 hours. Initially expected to rise after its listing, the token instead experienced heavy sell-offs. Analysts suggest that large investors may have taken profits, triggering panic selling among retail traders. Despite the drop the coin is in the list of trending tokens in CoinMarketCap.

Technical indicators suggest ongoing selling pressure, with the coin currently trading at $0.08630. The marketcap stands at $86.3M, with a drop of 40.11%, however the trading volume is at $336.11 with a rise of 202.15%. Some traders see a potential recovery if it can hold above $0.10. However, uncertainty remains high, and investors are closely watching its next move.

TUT Coin Soars 280% After Binance Listing

While Mubarak Coin struggled, TUT Coin emerged as the biggest winner, surging 280% following its Binance listing. The token saw strong demand, reaching a price of $0.058 with trading volumes hitting $670.44 million at one point today, currently it is trading at $0.03774. After listings on KuCoin, Gate.io, and Bitget, TUT Coin became one of the most talked-about assets but binance listing remains the biggest game changing opportunity for this coin. Despite the massive gains, some traders speculate whether it will maintain momentum or face a correction.

Fear & Greed Index Shows Fear

The fear and greed index is at 44 currently which indicates that there is fear in the crypto market still it shows a bit of recovery signs from what we observed in the start of this month we saw fear and greed index at 20 as well. It looks like Confidence is slowly returning but from the fluctuation in the crypto market these few days uncertainty remains. Market has seen a downturn today but few coins still saw a chance to shine in this downhill, while big crypto currency like bitcoin saw a low, coins like Tut coin is taking off. Crypto.com's sec probe closure indicates a bit of easier times ahead but the fluctuations we have seen recently makes us wonder what happens next.
