Ethereum Holds Steady at $3,650 After Recent Dip

As of press time, bitcoin commands a hefty 60.8% of the $3.82 trillion crypto market, while ether struts its stuff at 11.6%. Ether’s market share slipped just a tad but still shines brighter than its 11.1% stake from a week ago, Jan. 18. 🧠

Just moments ago, an ETH/USD long position on Binance took a $30,000 hit in a dramatic liquidation at 3:36 p.m. ET. 💸
