ISLAMABAD
\nThe cryptocurrency market remained mixed on Monday, with the market capitalization gaining 0.8 percent to reach $2.49 trillion.
\nAs of 1350 hours GMT, the price of Bitcoin, the world\u2019s oldest and most valued cryptocurrency, slipped to $63,908 with a decrease of 0.4 percent in the last 24 hours. The market capitalization of the biggest crypto has reached $1.259 trillion with this decrease. Bitcoin has been 2.1 percent up in the past seven days.
\nBitcoin price slipped marginally after rebounding out of bear market territory through the weekend as investor optimism remained subdued amid increased speculation over US interest rate cuts. A sharp drop in the dollar, following weaker-than-expected nonfarm payrolls data, was the biggest benefactor of Bitcoin over the weekend. This helped the token recover from bear market territory after it sank to about $59,000 last week, about 22 percent below a record high hit in March.
\nMarkets were seen pricing an increased chance of a 25 basis-point cut by the Federal Reserve in September. Such a scenario bodes well for cryptocurrencies, given that they usually thrive in a low-rate, high-liquidity environment. A cooling labor market gives the Fed more impetus to cut interest rates.
\nSimilarly, Ether (ETH), the world\u2019s second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, shed 1 percent to reach $3,120. With this decrease in price, the market capitalization of ETH has reached $375 billion. ETH has shed 1.6 percent of its value during the last seven days.
\nOn the other hand, Binance Coin (BNB) price increased by 0.4 percent to reach $591. The market capitalization of BNB has reached $91.1 billion with this increase. BNB has gained 0.3 percent of its value during the last seven days.
\nMeanwhile, Solana price went up by 4.5 percent to reach $154. With this increase in price, its market capitalization has reached $69 billion. SOL has gained 13.1 percent of its value during the last seven days.
\nFollowing suit, the price of Ripple (XRP) increased by 0.6 percent to reach $0.532. The market capitalization of XRP stands at $29.5 billion with this increase. XRP has gained 4.9 percent of its value during the last seven days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
