Serious NFT hack sends bitcoin, eEthereum, BNB, solana, cardano sharply lower

Bitcoin and cryptocurrency prices already teetering on the brink of collapse due to the escalating Ukraine situation plummeted more following news of a serious attack on non-fungible token (NFT) platform OpenSea.

The bitcoin price crashed by over 5 percent under $40,000 in the last 24 hours after the Open Sea attack, while ethereum, BNB, solana, and cardano plunged to between 6 percent and 8 percent.

Sparked by a series of viral tweets from panicked NFT traders due to the OpenSea hack, the latest crypto price crash has wiped almost $300 billion from the combined crypto market over the last few days.
