It came after the US government transferred a portion of its crypto holdings to Coinbase Prime.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, the cryptocurrency fell below $84,000 and managed to hold at around that level for hours.<\/p>\n<p>However, the landscape worsened in the past several hours, with the asset tanking below $81,000. This also coincided with a new BTC transfer from the US government, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/lookonchain\/status\/2108203900105113988\">according<\/a> to data from Lookonchain.<\/p>\n<p>The altcoins have followed suit. ETH, which traded above $2,700 until 48 hours ago, is now down to $2,450.<\/p>\n<p>XRP was rejected at $1.50 and has dumped to $1.34 as of now. Notable losses also come from SOL, HYPE, DOGE, and others.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, the total value of wrecked positions has jumped a lot. Data from CoinGlass shows that over $450 million has been wiped-out in the past hour alone. Almost all of it was from longs.<\/p>\n<p>The amount is up to nearly $900 million on a 24-hour scale.
