The crypto market continues to display erratic and volatile behavior, highlighting the inherent risks for investors. The competition for the attention of cryptocurrency enthusiasts is intensifying as the US presidential election approaches, adding an additional layer of uncertainty to the already volatile cryptocurrency environment.
