Shaken by the market instability following China’s crypto crackdown, several cryptocurrencies finally rose in value after two days of dips.
Bitcoin and Ether prices are up after two days of witnessing dips
Bitcoin price finally witnessed a slight rise of 2.38 percent on Thursday, September 30. Currently, the world's most-valued cryptocurrency is trading at Rs. 34,28,765 (roughly $46,116).

Other cryptocurrencies that registered marginal growth include Ripple, Polkadot, and Dogecoin.
