Cryptocurrency Update: The global cryptocurrency market on Wednesday, December 8, saw a plunge again among profit bookings from investors after a market comeback the day before. The crypto market a day back had regained its momentum after falling constantly over the weekend, with all major coins suffering losses amid Omicron variant scare.
The Omicron variant of Covid-19 has created a panic from investors across markets — from stock to crypto — and the result was visible in their plunging numbers. Bitcoin on Wednesday fell back below the $50,000 mark, prompted by profit booking from investors, according to data from global crypto tracking website CoinMarketCap.
The combined losses of majority of the cryptocurrencies on Wednesday had an effect on the global market. The global cryptocurrency market on the day saw a sharp fall. The crypto market lost its value on the day and stood at 2.32 at trillion. This was down by as much as 3.65 per cent over the past 24 hours.
The total crypto market volume over the last 24 hours stood at $104.09 billion when the article was being written, also seeing a steep plunge. This was down by 19.68 per cent over the course of the last day, as fears regarding the Omicron variant again created a panic among traders.
Bitcoin, Ether, Solana and other major crypto coins lost their value. The price of one Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market value, was standing at $49,258.95 at the time of writing this article. This was down by 4.23 per cent over the last 24 hours and by 13.56 per cent over the last seven days, data from CoinMarketCap showed.
The value of Ether, the world’s largest altcoin also decreased on the day. One unit of Ether was priced at $4,279.32 at the time of writing this article, as per data from the same website. This was down by 3.20 per cent over the last 24 hours and by 9.52 per cent over the last seven days.
“We saw a good recovery across the cryptocurrency spectrum over the past 24 hours. All of the top 30 cryptos ended the day in greens. The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation, Bitcoin, regained the $51,000 mark. The largest altcoin, ETH went past the $4,300 mark. The rally across the altcoins was pretty high after Polkadot, LUNA and CRO tokens struck double digit gains.
Bitcoin dominance is down to just above 40 per cent, signalling a greater scope to the altcoins. The total market cap gained approximately 4 per cent.
