The cryptocurrency market is having a rough day, with prices dropping across the board. The total market value of all cryptocurrencies combined has fallen by 3.4% in the past 24 hours, now standing at approximately $2.85 trillion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Daily trading activity remains strong, with $85.1 billion<\/strong> worth of crypto changing hands. However, most of the top digital assets are struggling to stay in the green.<\/p>\n

Winners and Losers of the Day<\/h4>\n

Out of the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, only around a dozen are managing to post gains. The best performers among them are XDC Network (XDC) and Tron (TRX)<\/strong>, which have risen 5.8% and 2.4%<\/strong>, reaching $0.07461 and $0.2347<\/strong>, respectively.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, some coins are seeing steep declines. Pi Network (PI) and Entangle (NTGL) have plunged by double digits<\/strong>, with PI tumbling 26% to $0.8678<\/strong> and NTGL dropping 13% to $0.002173<\/strong>. Many other cryptocurrencies in the red have lost up to 9%<\/strong> of their value.<\/p>\n

Performance of the Top 10 Cryptocurrencies<\/h4>\n

Among the 10 largest cryptocurrencies, only two<\/strong> are managing to stay positive today. Tron (TRX)<\/strong> leads this small group, while Binance Coin (BNB)<\/strong> is technically up, but its increase is so tiny that its price remains unchanged at $633<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On the downside, XRP (XRP) is taking the biggest hit, falling 4.4% to $2.38<\/strong>. Other major cryptos have dropped between 1.5% and 3.8%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Bitcoin (BTC) is down 1.8%, currently trading at $83,956.<\/strong><\/li>\n
