Barring Shiba Inu, that slid for another day due to profit taking, nine out of the top-10 cryptocurrencies were trading higher at 10.30 hours IST. Solana and XRP were the biggest gainers, rising nearly 11 per cent each.
The global crypto market cap jumped about 3 per cent, to $2.73 trillion mark compared to the last day. However, the total crypto market volume was largely flat at $129.42 billion.
The total volume in DeFi is currently $18.79 billion, 14.52 per cent of the total crypto market’s 24-hour volume. The volume of all stable coins is now $98.31 billion, which is 75.96 per cent of the total crypto market’s 24-hour volume. Bitcoin’s dominance stood at 43.55 per cent, a decrease of 0.17% over the day.
Meanwhile, Commonwealth Bank of Australia said it will become the country’s first to offer retail clients crypto services, Australia’s largest bank said on Wednesday, marking a change from the sector that had refused to do business with cryptocurrency providers.
This is against the stance taken by most Indian banks, which have virtually banned cryptocurrency trading using their infrastructure.
