As of February 18, 2025, the cryptocurrency market is showing a significant decline. Bitcoin price dropped to $95,492, down 0.79% from its previous close. Ethereum is trading at $2,668.24, down 0.65%. BNB fell 3.74% to $646.43, Cardano fell 3.09% to $0.779452, and Solana lost 9.25% to $165.69.
The main reasons for this decline are:
1. Rising US bond yields: The yield on the 10-year Treasury note reached 4.79%, making traditional investments more attractive compared to volatile crypto assets. 
2. Correlation with the stock market: The decline of more than 2% in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices has affected the prices of cryptocurrencies, as investors view them as risk assets. 
These factors have combined to increase the pressure on the crypto market, leading to the current decline in prices.
