The global cryptocurrency market cap sits at approximately $2.87 trillion as market volatility increases.
Bitcoin recently surged to an eight-month high above $87,000, signaling to many that the crypto winter is ending.
However, the leading digital asset has pulled back to the $83,000 range due to rapid profit-taking.
Macroeconomic pressures, specifically hawkish Federal Reserve statements and growing rate-hike expectations, have triggered a market-wide correction.
Ethereum has mirrored this downward movement, slipping toward $2,600 after failing to hold its weekly gains.
Other prominent tokens, including Ripple and Solana, are also facing short-term declines from their recent high points.
Despite the immediate slide, institutional inflows via spot ETFs continue to provide substantial baseline liquidity.
