Crypto markets tumbled into a sea of red on Monday, with some altcoins bleeding more than 10%, though an industry analyst tells Cointelegraph there’s “no clear catalyst” to explain why.

Crypto’s market cap has fallen to $2.46 trillion, down 3.5% over the last 24 hours. Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Avalanche (AVAX) have been the hardest hit altcoins among the top 20 by market cap on June 17, falling 12.7% and 10.6% over the day, CoinGecko data shows.
