The crypto market as a whole is bearish with most top 100 coins in the red at the time of writing.

Bitcoin shed almost 6% of its value in the last 24 hours, trading below $30,000. Ethereum is down around 7%. Binance Coin (BNB) lost 8.50% after Bloomberg reported the US Securities and Exchange Commission was probing its US affiliate. 

In addition, SEC is probing into whether Binance should have registered BNB with the watchdog when the ICO took place in 2017. Cardano and Solana also tumbled, the latter by as much as 10%.
