After several weeks of bullish momentum, the crypto market saw a slight correction this week, with Bitcoin dipping by 3.06%, signaling a broader market cooldown. Most altcoins mirrored this trend, experiencing declines across the board. Among the most notable were Avalanche (AVAX) and Cardano (ADA), which dropped sharply by 25.97% and 9.87% respectively, following the U.S. SEC’s decision to delay its verdict on ETF applications for both tokens, creating uncertainty and triggering sell-offs among cautious investors. However, not all altcoins followed the downward trend—Maker (MKR) stood out with a reversal, surging by 10.43% amid growing investor interest and positive sentiment surrounding its governance upgrades. As the market awaits regulatory clarity, volatility is expected to remain high in the coming days.
