According to platforms like CoinSwitch and CoinDCX, Bitcoin experienced a slight dip of less than 1 percent on Indian exchanges on Monday. As December begins, the cryptocurrency market showed early indications of price corrections across several assets.
“Bitcoin continues its upward trend, climbing from $95,700 (roughly Rs. 81 lakh) to $97,600 (roughly Rs. 97.6 lakh), signalling bullish control as traders prepare for a potential rally past the $100,000 (roughly Rs. 84.6 lakh) milestone,” Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex told Gadgets360.
Ether rose by 1.26 percent over the last 24 hours on global exchanges. As shown by CoinMarketCap, the value of ETH has come to $3,705 (roughly Rs. 3.13 lakh). On Indian exchanges, the value of ETH stands at $3,635 (roughly Rs. 3.07 lakh) after incurring a minor dip of 0.36 percent.

“XRP has surpassed Solana to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency in the past day, with a market valuation of more than $122 billion (roughly Rs. 10,33,444 crore). This impressive rise is fueled by positive sentiment surrounding Ripple's pro-crypto policies and ongoing legal developments, which are shifting in favor of the company.

Investors are bullish on XRP's future,” Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, told Gadgets360.
