Ethereum, the top altcoin, is down roughly 8% after plunging to $2,506, its lowest level since Jan. 31, earlier today on the Binance exchange.
Cardano and Avalanche, two of the top “Ethereum killers,” are the top laggards at the time of writing this article, plunging by 14%.
The total market capitalization has now shrunk to $1.6 trillion after peaking at over $3 trillion in early November.
Bitcoin and Ethereum are down 46.49% and 48.10% from their record peaks, respectively.
