Most altcoins are in the red at this time. It’s a major blow in the crypto space and people are trying to analyze their cards. Avalanche has plummeted to 34% or under $32 and it even crashed below $28 which is far worse than its slump in August 2021.

More so, Solana is now down by 26% which has further dropped to around $52 as of this writing. Luna is the cryptocurrency of Terra. Following the collapse of USDT or the dollar stablecoin, Luna also suffered a massive slump at 97% or below $1.

ADA of Cardano has also slid down by 16% or $0.56 displaying tremendous dips comparable to what transpired in February 2021. Additionally, Polkadot (DOT) has also crashed to around 24% over the past 24 hours, or about $9.

Other tokens and meme coins are also extra volatile and dipping today like Dogecoin which is down 23% or $0.087 and Shiba Inu, which has lost over 27% in the past 24 hours.

Meanwhile, ApeCoin is also falling rapidly and has scraped 37% off its market value over the past day with the current prevailing price at $5.90.  The price has now plunged to 85% compared to its winning streak of $39.40 following its launch in March of this year.

Even the metaverse is having trouble Decentraland and The Sandbox have plunged to 28% or $0.85 and 28% or $1.32, respectively. These metaverse gaming tokens were selling like hotcakes especially following Facebook’s switch to Meta but are now losing out on value.
