FDIC Bombshell Rocks Crypto Market as Stellar Feels the Heat

Stellar's price movement today is largely influenced by the unexpected release of documents by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which has cast a shadow over the crypto market. The documents reveal the FDIC's stringent stance on banks engaging with crypto firms, a move that has been perceived as a regulatory clampdown. This has created uncertainty and fear among investors, leading to a sell-off in various cryptocurrencies, including Stellar. Travis Hill, the FDIC’s acting chairman, emphasized the agency's commitment to transparency, but the revelations have nonetheless sparked concerns about the future of crypto banking relationships.

Additionally, the broader market sentiment has been affected by Bitcoin's dominance, which has surged to nearly 62%, leaving altcoins like Stellar with limited liquidity and price movement. The Altcoin Season Index remains low, indicating that altcoins are not currently outperforming Bitcoin, which further contributes to the downward pressure on Stellar's price. Despite Stellar's impressive performance over the past 90 days, the current market conditions have overshadowed its recent gains.

Stellar's price has dropped by 3.35% today, reaching a low of $0.330038.
