Cryptocurrency prices fell on Tuesday as the overall market declined by over 2 per cent over the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin, the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, was trading at $42,290 or 1.20 per cent lower than its price 24 hours ago at 12:10 pm. The market capitalisation of Bitcoin fell to $800 billion and the 24-hour trade volume was $624 million.

Ehter, the native token on the Ethereum platform, declined to $3,196 or 2.55 per cent lower than its price 24 hours ago. Ether’s market capitalisation dipped to $376 billion while the 24-hour trade volume was $672.67 million.

All other smaller cryptocurrencies fell due to higher volatility in the virtual coin market. There has been a jump in trading volume as investors continue to sell their holdings.

Commenting on the crypto market momentum, Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder of Mudrex, a global algorithm-based crypto investment platform, said, “The global cryptocurrency market cap has dipped by 2 per cent over the past 24 hours, while the trading volume rose by nearly 20 per cent.”

“Bitcoin and Ethereum traded below $43,000 and $3,500. Meanwhile, Cardano has surged to almost 30 per cent in the past seven days, outperforming its rivals BTC and ETH. The recent developments in ADA contribute to the optimism around blockchain driving growth,” he added.

“The inflation rates in the US may push the demand for the crypto market in the coming days.”
