Crypto Price Crash Today, November 9: Know Why Bitcoin, ETH, Solana And Other Crypto Prices Are Falling

The prices of major cryptocurrencies crashed over the past day as news broke out that Binance, the biggest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, signed an agreement on Tuesday to buy out the non-US part of the FTX exchange, which is also one of the biggest crypto exchanges internationally. As per reports, Binance decided to buy out the FTX exchange because FTX was facing severe liquidity issues, which further caused concerns in the minds of cryptocurrency investors about the stability of the crypto market and the seemingly too-large-to-fail exchanges like FTX. Ever since the news came out about the FTX buyout, the price of the FTT, the native token of the FTX exchange has dropped by more than 70%, as per CoinMarketCap.

As a consequence, many investors began to pull out of cryptocurrencies worldwide due to the fear of a crash similar to the TerraLuna situation, resulting in the prices of major cryptocurrencies falling over the past day. At the time of writing this article, the price of Bitcoin (ETH) dropped by around 6.16% over the past 24 hours, whereas the price of Ethereum (ETH) dropped by around 11.07% over the past day. Other mainstream cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin, Solana, and Ripple also saw a sharp drop in prices.
