Why is Crypto Down Today?

Crypto is down (-19.0%) — Worst: OP -24.1%

Crypto prices drifted lower today (average -1.65%) as bitcoin continued to slip further from the $65K area, a move that typically tightens risk appetite across altcoins and pulls the broader complex down with it. The negative tone was reinforced by security-related headlines, including BTCPay’s decision to restrict remote Lightning access after attackers stole funds, which tends to weigh on sentiment even when the direct impact is limited. Other developments, such as Ripple’s XRPL amendment retirement being described as non-disruptive and Shiba Inu’s burn-rate surge, were largely idiosyncratic and did not offset the broader, bitcoin-led risk-off move.
