Ripple, also has shed 14.74% from its price 24 hours ago. But its price was still trending above $1, a mark it crossed last week. The cryptocurrency market was worth $509.8 billion at 20:34 UTC. On the back of its recovery, the market had reached a high of $599.7 billion yesterday. On Friday, it tumbled to valuations as low as $432 billion.
Bitcoin futures contracts expiring in January, which is the most-traded derivative, closed at $13,960 and $14,135 at close on trading in CBOE and CME respectively.
Mike Novogratz, the billionaire investor who has over 30% of his net assets in cryptocurrencies, tweeted that bull market isn’t over, it’s just pausing.
