Cryptocurrency markets moved lower on Tuesday as traders reduced exposure ahead of the Federal Reserve's upcoming policy decision, triggering a broad decline across major digital assets and wiping out tens of billions in market value.
Bitcoin slipped below the $76,000 mark during the session, while the total cryptocurrency market capitalization fell about 1.8% to roughly $2.62 trillion, erasing close to $40 billion in a single day. Ether, XRP and BNB also declined, reflecting a wider risk-off shift across the sector.
