The crypto prices today have mainly embarked upon an alarming bearish trend. Bitcoin (BTC) price witnessed a significant fall, reaching the $56K level.

Notably, the Department of Justice recently sent subpoenas to Nvidia and other companies as it sought evidence that the AI firm violated antitrust laws. Subsequently, the S&P 500 today saw a 2.12% fall, whereas the global crypto market cap experienced a whopping 4.60% decline.
