Bitcoin Leads Decline as Crypto Markets Slide on Thursday Morning

Crypto markets took a hit on Thursday morning as most major digital assets posted losses due to subdued risk appetite.

Bitcoin led the decline, falling by 1.13% to $83,417.88, while Ethereum dropped by 1.47% to $2,644.72.

XRP was the standout underperformer, declining 2.21% to $1.47, followed closely by Solana which fell 1.64% to $113.09.

The only token to buck the trend was BNB, rising 0.18% to $768.61 as selective buying interest in the Binance ecosystem token pointed to a more stable market for retail-oriented assets like Dogecoin, which edged down by just 0.18% to $0.09.
