Among the worst performers are IOTA, which is down more than 18% in the past 24 hours, and monero, which has fallen nearly 15% in the same period, according to CoinMarketCap.
Bitcoin's price neared the $13,000 level this weekend, climbing to as high as $12,956 during Saturday's trading session, BPI data shows. By Sunday, the price of the cryptocurrency had fallen below $12,000.
