Top cryptocurrency prices today: Dogecoin, Polkadot, Bitcoin shed up to 5%

New Delhi: Major cryptocurrencies witnessed sharp profit booking on Wednesday after the crypto market capitalisation hit the $3 trillion mark. Dogecoin and Polkadot were hit the most.

Barring the dollar-pegged USD Coin and Cardano, all other eight out of the top 10 cryptocurrencies were trading lower at 9.30 hours IST. Cardano jumped 3 per cent to become the fourth largest digital token by market cap.

The global crypto market cap fell about 2 per cent, to $2.89 trillion mark compared to the last day. However, the total crypto market volume jumped over 7 per cent to $136.28 billion.

Inflows into Bitcoin products and funds have hit a record $6.4 billion so far this year, data from digital asset manager CoinShares showed, as investors bought the cryptocurrency on more widespread government acceptance and positive momentum.
