The market capitalization for cryptocurrencies fell by some 12% in the last 24 hours to nearly $970 billion on Monday morning, data from CoinMarketCap shows.

  • A similar capitalization was previously seen in January 2021, data shows. In the past 24 hours, bitcoin lost 13% while ether slid 17%.
  • Bitcoin dominance increased to over 47% over the weekend, suggesting investors held bitcoin and risked off from alternative cryptocurrencies.
  • The fall came amid a decline in global stocks after poor U.S. consumer price index data for May was released last week. Inflation rocketed to over 8.3% on a year-on-year basis, denting investor sentiment.
  • Bitcoin has declined for nearly 12 straight weeks, marking one of the asset’s biggest slides in its lifetime.
