【Crypto World】On December 18, the crypto market experienced a general correction, with most sectors declining between 2% and 7% over the past 24 hours.
The Layer2 sector performed the weakest, dropping 6.71%, with industry leaders facing setbacks—Linea (LINEA) down 10.41%, Zora (ZORA) down 10.39%, and Movement (MOVE) falling 13.61%, making it the biggest loser.
In mainstream cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin (BTC) declined 1.71%, failing to hold the $87,000 level; Ethereum (ETH) was under greater pressure, dropping 4.27% to around $2,800.
Other sectors also showed poor performance. The DeFi sector fell 5.65%, with Hyperliquid (HYPE) down 7.91%; the Layer1 sector declined 3.78%, with Zcash (ZEC) dropping 7.36%; the PayFi sector decreased 3.27%, with Ultima (ULTIMA) plunging 11.88%. The CeFi sector fell 3.68%, but Canton Network (CC) defied the trend, rising 8.54%. The Meme sector declined 4.65%, but some projects showed resilience—PIPPIN up 16.61%, MemeCore (M) up 3.14%.
Data indicates that this correction mainly impacted emerging public chains and DeFi ecosystems, while some defensive assets demonstrated resilience.

Layer 2 really couldn't hold this time, a 13-point drop in MOVE is outrageous...

Layer2 this time really failed, is a 13% drop in MOVE just a small matter haha
BTC can't even break 8.7, that's ridiculous, how else can we play
DeFi also hasn't had good days, now it's just falling and falling, when will the bottom come
This round of adjustment feels endless, we need to keep watching further down

ngl, layer2 getting absolutely decimated while L1s hold steadier is kinda telling us something about market structure rn... the adoption curves clearly haven't matured enough for these scaling solutions to weather actual volatility. narrative's shifting fast.
The market generally pulls back, with Layer 2 leading the decline, and BTC falling below $87,000.
