MicroStrategy Disclose Bitcoin Profit in Q1, Coinbase Sued Again!
Hi,

Welcome to Coinpedia Daily News, where we keep you updated on the latest happenings in the world of cryptocurrencies. Brace yourselves, crypto fans, because the market has taken a bit of a tumble. The global market cap has plunged to $1.16 trillion, with Bitcoin (BTC) dipping below the $28,000 mark. But don’t worry just yet, because BTC has managed to climb back up to that $28k level. Unfortunately, other popular altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), Ripple (XRP), and Litecoin (LTC) have all taken a hit, with all of them seeing red across the board. However, amidst the chaos, there are a few glimmers of hope, such as the Maker (MKR) token, which has become the top gainer with a 24-hour jump of 3%. On the flip side, Internet Computer (ICP) has become the top loser with a 24-hour loss of nearly 9%. Keep an eye out for more updates on this wild ride of a crypto market!
