Overall market sentiment has slumped as tokens across the board fell between 2% and 6% in the past 24 hours. <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/coins\/ethereum\/\">Ethereum<\/a> (ETH) dropped 4.79% to slip under $4,100, while <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/coins\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a> (BTC) slid 2.69% below $113,000. The PayFi sector, which showed strength yesterday, crashed 5.65%, led by sharp declines in XRP (-5.52%) and Telcoin (-7.17%). Other sectors, including CeFi, Layer1, Layer2, and DeFi, also posted heavy declines, though some tokens like OKB (+5.76%), and Mantle (+5.51%) managed to buck the trend.<\/p>\n<p>But what else is happening in crypto news today?
