The post Bitcoin Tumbles Toward $36K as Crypto Markets Sell Off: This Week’s Recap appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The broader cryptocurrency market took a turn for the worse throughout the past seven days as the majority of coins are trading in the red. This comes after weeks’ worth of increases in what seems to be an expected correction. Bitcoin’s price is trading at a 3% loss, tumbling toward $36K at the time of this writing. The leading cryptocurrency was unable to keep up the bullish momentum. It soared toward $38K on Thursday, but it retraced almost as quickly as it skyrocketed. All in all, it returned to $36K in what seems to be a healthy correction. The rest of the market is having it worse, with slight exceptions in the face of Solana (SOL), which remains the best-performing altcoin from the top 10, up 8.5% on the week. Interestingly, the only other altcoin from the top 10 that’s also in the green is Dogecoin (DOGE). Elsewhere, prices are tumbling. ETH is down 8%, BNB is down 4.3%, XRP lost 8.1%, and so forth. Prices aside, the week saw positive developments in the face of the world’s largest asset manager. BlackRock furthered its involvement in the cryptocurrency industry and officially filed for a spot Ethereum (ETH) exchange-traded fund (ETF) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. That said, Tether – the largest stablecoin issuer – also came out with a big announcement. The company will be investing a whopping $500 million in Bitcoin mining infrastructure and aims to acquire 1% of the global hash rate. In any case, the current retrace seems like what the majority was expecting, and it’s very interesting what’s going to happen in the coming days.
