Crypto Price Today: Bitcoin regains $20K; Solana & Polkadot gain up to 8%
Bitcoin topped the $20,000 mark, whereas Ethereum found some mojo back, the first time after the Merge.

Barring the XRP and US dollar-pegged Tether, all top crypto tokens were trading sharply higher on Tuesday. Solana zoomed up to 8 per cent, whereas Bitcoin and Polkadot were up by 6 per cent each. The global cryptocurrency market cap was trading higher at $962.94 billion, gaining more than 4 per cent in the last 24 hours. However, the total trading volume zoomed almost 52 per cent, close to $81.16 billion.
