Starknet (STRK) led the losers with a 29.13% decline after a period of significant gains, while Conflux (CFX) and NEAR Protocol (NEAR) fell by 14.56% and 13.36% respectively, as they tracked the overall market decline. Ethena (ENA) also dropped by 13.06%, aligning with the broader market trend.

Market sentiment remains in 'Greed' territory with a score of 69 on the Fear & Greed Index, indicating a cautious but not yet fearful market environment. Bitcoin's dominance at 59.2% suggests continued strength in the largest cryptocurrency.

In other news, the Federal Reserve's potential rate hike cycle could impact crypto markets, while the USDC Treasury's minting of $250 million may signal stablecoin activity. Additionally, Sui's record $80M USDsui stablecoin supply raises questions about adoption trends.
