The entire Crypto market cap has dropped from $349 Billion to $275 Billion, $74 Billion vanishing from the market. But to say that it is just because of the hack might be incorrect as a lot goes into the market apart from some bad news. But most of the mainstream media have been reporting that Cryptocurrencies area tanking because of the hack.

And of course, the bears who believe that Bitcoin has to go to $3000 for some reason are back screaming that it is about to go down.
Bitcoin Dominance has again increased slightly reaching the 40% level as prices tank. This is a fairly common theme when prices start to drop big brother Bitcoin dominance goes up in the short term, although in the long term it is notable that the Bitcoin dominance has halved since February 2017 even going as low as 33% in January.

Also recently a report on research about Tether being used to manipulate Bitcoin prices back in the peak days is being spread across the media. Bloomberg reported that according to a research from the University of Texas, Tether was used to manipulate the price of Bitcoin in 2017 to drive it as high as $20000. I am sure that this does not come as a surprise to many of the Crypto OG’s but maybe to the people who bought the peak.
