DOGE, XRP Lead Crypto Majors Decline as Bitcoin ETFs Bleed $80M
Oct 23, 2024 at 04:01 pm
The broad-based CoinDesk 20 (CD20), a liquid index tracking the largest tokens by market capitalization, fell nearly 2% while bitcoin lost 1%.
Dogecoin (DOGE) and XRP (XRP) led losses among major tokens amid a broader market downturn as traders booked profits from a move higher earlier this week and U.S.-listed bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) snapped a seven-day inflow streak.
DOGE dropped 5% and XRP fell 4% as bitcoin failed to continue a Monday rally to nearly $70,000. The tokens led gains among majors in the past seven days on an Elon Musk endorsement and fundamental developments, respectively.
The broad-based CoinDesk 20 (CD20), a liquid index tracking the largest tokens by market capitalization, fell nearly 2% while bitcoin lost 1%. Traders, however, foresee a run to $80,000 in the coming weeks as the U.S. elections draw near, irrespective of who is elected president.
Market action remained generally flat on mid-caps and low-caps. However, memecoin bonk (BONK) and governance token APE dropped over 7% to lead losses among smaller tokens.
Bitcoin’s key resistance and a pause in stablecoin issuances were among the reasons for a slow uptrend in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, traders said.
“The main reason for the entire crypto market’s subsidence seems to be Bitcoin, which the bears defended against an assault on the $70K level,” Alex Kuptsikevich, senior market analyst at FxPro, told CoinDesk in an email. “They intensified selling at $69.5K early in the day on Monday and dropped the price to $66.5K on Tuesday morning.”
“Stablecoin volume has not increased since late September, setting up a potential pause in the growth of the broader cryptocurrency market, as stablecoins are often seen as liquidity for quick purchases of coins of interest. The previous growth momentum was from August to September, when the overall crypto market capitalization pushed off the bottom,” Kuptsikevich added.
Stablecoin liquidity and growth are closely tied to higher bitcoin and crypto prices, a CoinDesk analysis showed earlier.
Bitcoin ETFs lost a net $80 million on Tuesday with Ark Invest’s ARKB seeing a $134 million outflow, a record figure for the product. BlackRock’s IBIT took in $42 million, leading inflows, while Fidelity’s FBTC and VanEck’s HODL took in $8 million and $3 million, respectively.
Among other products, BlackRock’s ether ETF took in $11 million on Tuesday while other products showed no inflow or outflow activity.
