Solana, Ether, XRP Lead Majors Slide as Iran Strikes Drive Broad Risk Selloff

Every large-cap token fell over the past 24 hours, and the high-beta majors gave up roughly triple what bitcoin did.

All major large‑cap cryptocurrencies experienced price declines over the last 24 hours, with the most volatile assets losing significantly more than Bitcoin.

Broad Market Weakness

The sell‑off affected every large‑cap token, indicating a widespread risk‑off sentiment across the crypto market.

High‑Beta Majors Under Pressure

Tokens with higher price volatility, such as Solana, Ether, and XRP, saw losses that were roughly three times the percentage drop recorded by Bitcoin.

Bitcoin’s Relative Performance

While Bitcoin also fell, its decline was modest compared with the sharper drops seen in the high‑beta assets.
