Overnight in Asia, global cryptocurrency market cap experienced a 4.2% increase, reaching $2.55 trillion and marking a rise in major coin values. The prices of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) both saw increases of over 5% in the past 24 hours, with BTC currently trading at $67,691 and ETH at $3,499, respectively.
This uplift in the crypto market contrasts with the pre-market trading decline of equities and other risk assets. Investor mood was predominantly optimistic, starting the new trading week on a note of ‘Greed,’ a shift from the previous week’s ‘Extreme Greed’, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.
