Bitcoin may be able to end the year on a rise after a post-Christmas decline that brought the price of the leading crypto asset to its lowest price in over a month.
BTC price fell to $91,816 on Monday, data from CoinGeckowhich is the lowest price observed on its 30-day chart. Looking a little further, the last time Bitcoin touched this mark was on November 26, before a surge that would ultimately take the asset to its current all-time high of $108,135 on December 17.
As of this writing, Bitcoin has rebounded, rising over 4% over the past day to a current price of $95,639. And like Bitcoin, so do other major assets, which are also showing gains over the past day.
XRPfor example, rose almost 6% over the past day to a current price of $2.13 after falling to $2.01 on Monday. Even down from the 7-year high price of $2.82 set earlier this month, XRP marked a 240% rise over 2024.
Dogecoin (DOGE) is also up over 6% on the day at the current price of $0.327. It’s a similar story to XRP: Although down substantially from a recent high of $0.48 – a three-year high for the leading meme coin – DOGE has surged 262% this year . Long-term holders have benefited immensely, even during high short-term volatility.
Solana is another big gainer in the top 10 today, up 6% to a price of almost $198. It is now down 25% since hitting a new all-time high price of $263 in November, but is still up almost 92% in 2024.
The biggest gainer in the top 100 over the past day is AI16z– a Solana token linked to the increasingly lively phenomenon of AI agents – which has continued to reach unprecedented heights in recent days. That’s up 38% to a current price of $1.82.
