Ether fared similarly to bitcoin and was also down about 2% to change hands just above $1,530. That level was well off its late February highs over $1,700. Other major cryptos were mostly in the red, with SOL, the token of the Solana, blockchain off more than 9% and APT, the native cryptocurrency of layer 1 blockchain Aptos Labs down over 6%. The CoinDesk Market Index, a measure of the broader crypto market’s performance, was down nearly 3%.
