Crypto Bloodbath: Did Coinbase’s Glitch or Ripple’s Legal Drama Trigger the Sell-Off?
Crypto markets are tanking hard today—BTC down 7%, ETH off 9%—and fingers are pointing in two directions. First up: Coinbase’s trading engine choked during peak volatility (again), locking users out as liquidations piled up. Classic ’infrastructure-ready’ exchange behavior.
Then there’s Ripple. The SEC case took another weird turn with rumors of a delayed settlement—because nothing says ’regulatory clarity’ like dragging a lawsuit into its fifth year. XRP holders are dumping bags, dragging altcoins down with them.
Truth is, markets were overdue for a correction after that reckless meme-coin rally. But hey, when in doubt, blame the CEXs and lawyers—Wall Street does it, why can’t we?
