Why Investors Were Ditching Altcoins on Wednesday
A gloomy stock market and news -- well, vibrant speculation -- of a pending sell-off by a major corporate cryptocurrency holder put the hurt on altcoins Wednesday.
A nervous market traded out of many of the better-known coins and tokens in that universe. Among the many decliners was Avalanche (CRYPTO: AVAX), which was off by almost 4% over the past 24 hours in late afternoon trading. Aptos (CRYPTO: APT) was also down by a similar percentage, while Chainlink (CRYPTO: LINK) had it worse with an almost 6% slide.
As much as some crypto-heads might wish it to be so, cryptocurrencies do not trade in their own special investment bubble. As a group, they can also be very much affected by how other clusters of assets do on a given day.
