‘No clear catalyst’ for bloodbath as top altcoins fall double digits

Crypto market analysts suggest the altcoin stumble may be tied to a recent spate of spot Bitcoin ETF outflows.

Crypto markets tumbled into a sea of red on Monday as some altcoins bled more than 10%, with an industry analyst telling Cointelegraph that there’s “no clear catalyst” to explain why.

The crypto market cap has fallen to $2.46 trillion, down 3.5% over the last 24 hours. Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Avalanche (AVAX) have been the hardest hit altcoins among the top 20 by market cap on June 17, falling 12.7% and 10.6% during the day, CoinGecko data shows.

Uniswap (UNI) and Dogecoin (DOGE) also saw a double-digit drop, while Solana’s (SOL) dipped 9.4%. Ripple’s XRP (XRP) was the only non-stablecoin not in the red, though it only saw a minor 0.1% increase.
