Notably, Bitcoin has clocked a 3.5 per cent growth in the last 24 hours, while ETH has scored 1.7 per cent over the same period.

This has helped lift the total market capitalisation of cryptocurrencies above $3 trillion.

Apart from these coins, Binance Coin (BNB) remains in the third position with a market price of $648.49. It witnessed 1.47 per cent growth in the last 24 hours. Solana (SOL) was at fourth place; it grew by 0.92 per cent in the last 24 hours with a market price of $247.53.
