Cryptocurrency prices today: Bitcoin trading flat; Dogecoin, Stellar & XRP fall up to 4.55%

World’s largest cryptocurrency Bitcoin was trading on a flat note today. The price of Bitcoin rose 0.49% to $60,849 on Coinmarketcap. Market cap of the cryptocurrency reached $1,148 billion.

Currently, the global crypto market cap stands at $2.60 trillion, a rise of 1.40%. Other cryptocurrencies were trading on a mixed note. Ethereum  rose 4.92% to $4,347 but Dogecoin was trading 4.55% lower at $0.2,927.

Digital token Stellar lost 0.05% to $0.3471 and XRP declined 0.67% to $1.06.

However, Litecoin gained 3.51% to $193.38 and Uniswap was trading 1% higher at $25.49.

Of late, crypto prices have risen on the back of comments from billionaire Elon Musk and Ark Investment Management LLC’s Cathie Wood.

In late July, Elon Musk said Tesla was “most likely” to start accepting bitcoin as payment again. The comment helped the cryptocurrency race past the $30,000 level.

The electric carmaker said in May that it would no longer accept the cryptocurrency for purchases. It’s been a wild ride for bitcoin the last three years.

The digital currency made its big Wall Street debut in December 2017, when the major futures exchanges rolled out Bitcoin futures. The attention drove Bitcoin to roughly $19,300, a then-unheard of price for the currency.
