Altcoin News - The top trending coins are USDC, SHIB, and ETH.
- Ethereum (ETH) price soared about 4.5% in a day.
Since heightened volatility during pre-market hours on Monday, significant bank stocks have been suspended in the wake of Silicon Valley Bank’s demise. That led equities to witness a crucial selloff. Also, the shares of First Republic Bank dropped by more than 60% due to a cascading effect from the second-largest bank in the U.S.
As a result of the stress over the US banking industry, the global cryptocurrency market is again moving in a “Bull Market” direction. At the time of writing, the global crypto market cap surged over 5.30% in the last 24 hours.
Let’s take a glance at the top trending cryptocurrencies of the day, as per CoinMarketCap.

Crypto’s second-largest stablecoin USDC buzzed social media by rebounding its 1 dollar peg after being depegged from its standard $1 to as low as $0.87 on 11th March.
