Latest news about Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies. Your daily crypto news habit.
Today’s edition of OKEx Insights’ Crypto Market Daily covers Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins and DeFi.
The price of Bitcoin ( BTC) remains relatively flat this morning. As of press time, the market-leading cryptocurrency is down a minor 0.1% and is trading around 1,386.87 USDT on OKEx.
Major altcoins have also seen muted gains or losses. The prices of Ether (ETH) and Litecoin (LTC) are down less than 1%, while Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is up 3.7%. Chainlink (LINK) and Cardano (ADA) are also down more than 2.5% — but there has been nothing particularly dramatic among the cryptocurrency market’s top projects.
The total cryptocurrency market capitalization shaved off another 0.7% over the past 24 hours, according to data sourced from CoinGecko. It now sits at $366,087,019,539. At the same time, BTC dominance is up 0.3% from yesterday’s 57.3% and now sits at 57.6%.
Wednesday saw traditional markets pull back, which correlates to the cryptocurrency market pullback. Dow Jones futures, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures all fell last night following United States Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s claim that a stimulus bill to combat the continued COVID-19 economic fallout is unlikely to come to fruition before the presidential election in November.
