<h2>Day By Day, the Entire Crypto Market Fall is Taking Place</h2>
The unexpected fall of the whole crypto market demonstrates a 9% decrease within 24 hours, a 35% reduction over the last week, and a sudden fall of around $2.5 trillion in all-time highs at the beginning of the month.

9% of Bitcoin's price, which is worth about $35,000, was knocked down by another 7% overnight collapse. The drop also declined 13% from Ethereum, which is now valued at $2,073 -  less than half its all-time high of $4,165 on 11 May.

Much worse fared smaller altcoins. In the last 24 hours, Binance Coin (BNB) has dropped 18%. It has dropped two ranks to 6th-largest cryptocurrency by the market cap at $257 and a market ceiling of $39 billion. Cardano (ADA) and Dogecoin took their place with pleasure, while they felt respectively by 14% and 9% overnight.

Behind the collapse is a string of negative news. The damage began on 12 May, when<a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/investors-cancel-cybertruck-orders-as-tesla-suspend-btc-payment/"> Tesla</a> and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk traced Bitcoin and <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1392602041025843203" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">confirmed </a>Telsa's failure to allow Bitcoin payments.
