Market activity saw Cronos (CRO) declining by 5.8%. Operated by Crypto.com, CRO saw no official comments on liquidity status from leadership during this period.
The sharp decline in ICP led to heightened volatility and liquidation of long positions. On-chain analytics indicated significant outflows from major exchanges, emphasizing market distress.
