The broad selloff wiped out roughly $216 billion in combined market value over a single day, based on the current $2.57 trillion total against a 7.75% decline. Bitcoin fell to $75,683, down 6.14%, while Ethereum dropped 8.19% to $2,229.80. Solana declined 7.25% to $89.36, and Hyperliquid fell 7% to $77.91. Trading volume across the market totaled $105.3 billion over the past 24 hours, reflecting active selling rather than a quiet drift lower. Bitcoin's dominance of the total market held near 59.16%, indicating the pullback hit altcoins at least as hard as the largest cryptocurrency.
Among the most-searched tokens, NEAR Protocol posted one of the steeper losses, falling 9.29% to $3.67, placing it among the day's biggest decliners by percentage alongside Ethena and Uniswap. Sui dropped 8.24% to $0.86, and Aerodrome Finance slid 8.92% to $0.59. Bittensor fell 6.75% to $220.25. Not every trending name moved lower: Injective rose 3.75% to $8.36, and Pearl edged up 0.76% to $1.64, showing isolated pockets of resilience even as the broader market retreated.
The standout mover was Akedo, a smaller-cap token ranked 290th by market capitalization, which jumped 50.55% to $0.0038950 while nearly every other major asset fell. The scale of the gain, against a backdrop of widespread losses elsewhere, made it the single sharpest percentage move among all tokens tracked in trending data.
On the losing side, Ethena fell 10.34% to $0.163, the steepest decline among widely tracked tokens, followed closely by Uniswap, down 9.93% to $6.93, and NEAR Protocol, down 9.07% to $3.68 on a separate reading from loser rankings. Stellar also declined, falling 8.28% to $0.154. Stablecoins were the exception to the rout: Rain rose 2.92%, and dollar-pegged tokens including Ripple USD, USDY and Falcon USD posted negligible moves near flat, consistent with their design.
The downturn comes amid heightened scrutiny of exchange security following a major hack disclosed last week, with regulators reported to have followed up with banks on exposure risks. Separately, shifts in crypto mining economics continue, with at least one major mining firm moving toward exiting Bitcoin mining in favor of data-center infrastructure. Neither development directly explains the breadth of Wednesday's selloff, but both reflect ongoing structural changes across the industry as prices adjust sharply lower.
