Bitcoin was able to hold the $21,000 mark, to which it plunged after disappointing inflation numbers in Europe.
Top crypto tokens were trading higher on Monday. BNB rose more than 5 per cent, whereas Solana, Shiba Inu and Polygon gained 3 per cent each. Dogecoin was the only altcoin in red.
The global cryptocurrency market cap was trading marginally higher at the $1.02 trillion mark, rising more than a per cent in the last 24 hours. However, the total trading volume tumbled over 18 per cent, close to $59.37 billion.
