Date:-20-09-2021__Cryptocurrency prices today: Bitcoin slips over 4%; Uniswap, Stellar, XRP fall up to 7.5%

World’s largest cryptocurrency bitcoin fell over 4% today. On Coinmarketcap, the price of bitcoin declined 4.56% to $45,661. Market cap of the cryptocurrency reached $859.343 billion.

Currently, the global crypto market cap stands at $2.02 trillion, a fall of 5.39% against the previous day.

Other cryptocurrencies were also trading in the red today. Ethereum fell 5.97% to $3,203 and Dogecoin was trading 6.69% lower at $0.2239.

Digital token Stellar lost 7.49% to $0.2982 and XRP declined 7.54% to $0.9911. Litecoin fell 6.55% to $168.17 and Uniswap crashed 5.52% to $22.89. 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.
