Current Cryptocurrency Prices (May 30): Bitcoin, Solana, XRP Showing Popularity Among Traders

A dramatic reversal unfolded in the cryptocurrency market on May 30, marked by significant liquidations worth over $700 million. The Asian trading session notably saw a wave of sell-offs, leading to numerous margin calls - a phenomenon often referred to as a "may-day call" for traders.

Key coins such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple's XRP experienced steep declines during this period. Despite the broader market turmoil, Bitcoin managed to maintain its position as the most trending coin, according to CoinMarketCap, despite minimal price change following the crash.

In the last week, Bitcoin reached an all-time high (ATH) of $111,970, but by the end of May 30, its price had dipped to $104,000, marking a decline of nearly 5%. Yet, the coin's allure remains unwavering, with inflows of $9 billion into Bitcoin ETFs in May, silencing critics.

Meanwhile, XRP also experienced losses, dropping by 3% and testing the support level of $2.15. A positive development emerged as Hong Kong-based Hasdex listed XRP for its institutional clients. Although XRP's price has yet to witness substantial movement, the listing could potentially boost investor confidence.

Solana (SOL) endured one of the steepest declines among top coins, losing roughly 7% of its value. Despite the dip, a surge in trading volume failed to instigate a full-scale sell-off, suggesting a pause among the bulls before reconsidering their positions.

The top trending coins on May 30 were as follows:1. BTC: $104,774.5, down by 1.59%2. LPT: $11.45, surged 109.00%3. XRP: $2.19, down by 3.88%4. POKT: $0.06368, skyrocketed by 409.14%5. SOL: $160.66, lost 5.05%

Numerous altcoins proved volatile during this period, posting gains of up to 1000%. In the 24-hour period ending on May 30, the overall crypto market gained 1.83%, standing at $2.57 trillion. The market exhibited an overarching sentiment of "Greed," with a Fear and Greed Index of 61 points, while bitcoin continued to dominate with a 53.1% share of the market cap.
