BTC is currently trading around $19,300 and ETH around $1,300. Notable gainers in the last 24 hours are LEO, XRP, and LUNC. The global crypto market cap is ~$977B, down 0.4% over the last day. DeFi Total Value Locked is ~$71b and BTC dominance is around 41%.
It appears to be a lower volatility day for markets to end the quarter following yesterday’s rout in risk assets. Crypto performance was notably resilient during yesterday’s selloff in equities, largely holding its ground. Eurozone inflation exceeded expectations and reached a record high of 10%. Despite this, equities and crypto are close to flat.
