Bitcoin took the leading crypto asset's price to its lowest in more than a month following a post-Christmas slump to end the year on a high.
The price of BTC fell to $91,816 on Monday, according to data from CoinGecko, which is the lowest price seen on the 30-day chart. Looking back a bit further, the last time Bitcoin touched that mark was on November 26th, which would eventually take the asset to its current all-time high of $108,135 on December 17th.
As of this writing, Bitcoin has rebounded, rising more than 4% in the last day to a current price of $95,639. And as Bitcoin goes, so do other major assets that have been showing similar gains over the past day.
XRP, for example, fell almost 6% to $2.13 in the previous day, before falling to $2.01 on Monday. Down from a 7-year high of $2.82 set earlier this month, XRP has seen a 240% gain over the course of 2024.
Dogecoin (DOGE) has increased by more than 6% per day at the price of $0.327. It's a similar story with XRP: While falling from a recent high of $0.48—a three-year high for the original meme coin—DOGE has jumped 262% this year. Despite severe short-term volatility, long-term holders benefited greatly.
Solana made another big gainer out of the top 10 today, up 6% at nearly $198. It's now down 25% after setting a new all-time high price mark of $263 in November, but it's still up about 92% in 2024.
The biggest gainer in the top 100 over the past day is AI16z—Solana's token tied to the growing AI agent phenomenon—which has continued to push to higher levels in recent days. The current price is 1.82 38%.
