Sharp Decline Wipes Out $87 Million
The cryptocurrency tumbled from a 24-hour high of $0.155706 to a low of $0.111396, representing a dramatic intraday swing. The selloff has erased $87.4 million from Plasma’s market capitalization, which now stands at $268.96 million, dropping the asset to rank #136 among all cryptocurrencies.
Trading volume surged to $348.73 million over the 24-hour period, significantly elevated compared to typical activity levels, suggesting intense selling pressure and potential capitulation by holders.

Distance from All-Time High Widens

Despite today’s crash, XPL has posted a 28.1% gain over the past seven days, suggesting the recent uptrend may have attracted profit-taking or triggered stop-loss orders among traders.
Supply Metrics

In the past hour, XPL has recovered 0.83%, suggesting some buyers are attempting to establish support at current levels. However, the token remains under significant pressure on the 24-hour timeframe.
The 30-day performance shows a modest 3.2% decline, indicating that today’s selloff represents an acute event rather than a sustained downtrend.
