Three reasons why the crypto market fell on Tuesday
An analyst cited by CryptoQuant theorized that a bottom was in play with the recent market-wide drop.
The total cryptocurrency market fell more than 7% last week and more than 3% in a month. Notably, Bitcoin (Bitcoin) fell below the $65,000 mark while altcoins underwent massive corrections.
Altcoins, typically more volatile than Bitcoin, have performed worse than the leading virtual currency and lost more than 4% of market value in the last 30 days. BTC is down around 3% over the same period, but the token appears stuck in a sideways pattern.
Miner’s Capitulation
A CriptoQuant The report noted that miners’ capitulation was one of the main reasons for the total market value dropping to $2.4 trillion. After the Bitcoin halving, block rewards were reduced by 50% and mining revenues fell by 55% in parallel.

Low stablecoin issuance
Stable coins offer a path for digital assets increasing and decreasing liquidity for the decentralized ecosystem. Tokens like Tether USDT and Circle USD currency (USDC) are pegged to the US dollar, providing a non-volatile currency for trading.

Crypto ETF Outflows
Discover Bitcoin ETFs Companies like BlackRock and Fidelity broke Wall Street records by reaching several billion in assets within weeks. Recently, however, funds have seen outflows, adding more pressure to Bitcoin prices and the broader digital asset market.
