After an impressive few weeks, the value of cryptocurrencies fell sharply on Thursday. The biggest market news was Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell saying that he expected to support a short-term interest rate increase at March's Fed meeting, which some investors may have thought was currently off the table.
At 12:50 p.m. ET, Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) had fallen 5% in the last 24 hours, Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) was down 7.6%, and Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA) was down 5.9%.
