Cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Dogecoin experienced a decline in value recently, reflecting a broader correction in the crypto market. This downturn was evident on Wednesday, with Ethereum down by over 2% and Dogecoin following suit. Other altcoins such as Axie Infinity and Optimism also faced substantial drops in value. One contributing factor to this decline is the rising popularity of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These ETFs provide investors with direct exposure to Bitcoin without the complexities of managing it themselves. Additionally, the focus on tech stocks, particularly due to Nvidia's impressive quarterly report, likely diverted some investment away from cryptocurrencies towards equities. This reallocation may have further contributed to the downward pressure on crypto prices.
