The global crypto market cap decreased by 3.14%, now at $2.35 trillion. However, the total market volume surged by 104.01% to $94.07 billion, reflecting significant outflows 
triggered by the U.S. Fed’s recent hawkish stance.

Today’s top gainers and losers include:

• Top Gainer: XRP, with a modest increase.

• Top Losers: zkSync (ZK) down 30.23% to $0.2002, Fantom (FTM) down 20.69% to
$0.5013, Ethena (ENA) down 18.89% to $0.6021, and Starknet (STRK) down 17.82%
to $0.7444.

Despite the majority of crypto being in downfall, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) showed gains in their hourly charts. This indicates a possible struggle for upward momentum. Altcoins like Solana (SOL), Ripple (XRP), and Dogecoin (DOGE) are also reflecting this mixed sentiment.
