Source: CryptoSlate.comThe market cap of the top three stablecoins — Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), and BinanceUSD (BUSD) — remained relatively flat over the past 24 hours, standing at $67.88 billion, $51.34 billion, and $20.21 billion, respectively.

Bitcoin

Since the last wMarket update, the Bitcoin price has fallen by 9% to stand at $20,300 as of press time. Market dominance fell from 40.2% to 39.0% over the past day.

The losses of the last 24 hours erased a significant proportion of the gains made since Sept. 7, when BTC set off on a run of six consecutive daily green candle closes. The sell-off was spurred by news that CPI inflation was up 0.1% for August.

Fears are the Fed will impose a “jumbo hike” later this month, putting further pressure on risk-on assets and consumer confidence.

Ethereum

The price of Ethereum fell 6% to trade at $1,614 as of press time. Market dominance grew slightly from 19.7% to 19.8%.

The latest estimates put the Merge occurring around 06:00 UTC on Sept. 15. Research showed derivatives traders expect price volatility post-Merge, with a significant proportion placing puts (the right to sell) at $1,100.

Ravencoin

RVN continues climbing higher, recording gains of 10% over the past 24 hours to trade at around $0.06804 at press time. Over the past 30 days, RVN has increased 91% in value, likely driven by the exodus of ETH PoW miners. The token’s market cap stood at $712.57 million.

However, in recent times, SOL has demonstrated itself “higher beta,” which has played out in greater susceptibility to market swings in either direction.
