Crypto Prices Today: Bitcoin Price (BTC) Breaks Above $44K, Ethereum (ETH) Still In The Red, Pepe Price Drops 5%

Published by

The crypto market observed a strong recovery over the last 24 hours, with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies trading in the green. While Bitcoin had fallen below $43,310 earlier today, the OG cryptocurrency has now zoomed past $44,000 levels.

Last week, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a “Fear of Missing Out” warning to investors amid renewed speculation that spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will get the regulator’s nod this week. While the SEC warning briefly caused turbulence in the market, the pessimism was short-lived.

Bitcoin’s price rose 0.5% over the last 24 hours to $44,210, sending its market cap soaring to $865.2 billion. Trading volumes over the last 24 hours jumped over 28% to $21 billion.

However, Ethereum saw a 0.3% decline in its prices over the last 24 hours. As of writing, the ETH price stood at $2,277, with its market cap sliding to $267.8 billion. However, trading volumes surged over 29% to $7.7 billion over the last 24 hours.

Other cryptocurrencies also bled, with BNB price falling over 3%, Solana (SOL) price sliding over 3%, XRP slipping over 1.3%, and Cardano (ADA) plummetting over 4.6%.

Meanwhile, the global crypto market cap fell nearly 0.9% over the last 24 hours to $1.64 trillion. The fear and greed index score stood at 67, indicating investor sentiment was muted.
