On Friday night, there was a significant reversal in the cryptocurrency market as over $200 billion worth of value was withdrawn in just a few hours.

Daily liquidations have reached almost $1 billion, with several significant losses reported among the unpredictable meme coin sector.

Previously reported by CryptoPotato: Bitcoin experienced a significant drop in value, causing it to plunge from approximately $71,000 early in the day down to a weekly minimum of $65,000 within just a few minutes.

Yet, this is only half the tale, as altcoins and meme coins have suffered significantly greater losses over the last 24 hours.

The token BONK is spearheading a negative development, experiencing a significant decline of 25%. This drop has caused the Solana-based token’s value to dip below $0.000017.

WIF experiences a comparable decrease, causing Dogecoin to drop significantly below the $3 mark. It’s important to mention that Dogecoin reached a new record high of nearly $5 on its chart not long ago.

PEPE experiences a decline of 21% each day, making it the next coin to face setbacks. Following closely are FLOKI with a daily loss of 20%, Shiba Inu at 13%, and Dogecoin with a decrease of 12%.

According to data from CoinGecko, the meme coin sector has experienced a significant loss, with approximately 20% of its total market value disappearing in just one day. This equates to a current market capitalization of around $54 billion. Simultaneously, the overall crypto market capitalization has decreased by 6.5%.

Approximately $900 million worth of liquidated positions were reported over the past 24 hours, as per CoinGlass’ data. The recent downturn in meme coins serves as a stark reminder of their inherent volatility. Investors need to exercise caution, particularly when employing leverage, given this heightened instability.
