The overall cryptocurrency market rebounded on Friday as altcoins surged sharply even as Bitcoin, the world’s most popular virtual coin, traded flat. Altcoins (alternative coin) is a term to describe all other cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin.
Bitcoin was trading at approximately $46,800, up 1.57 per cent over its price 24 hours ago at 10:05 am. Its market capitalisation rose to $880 billion, but the 24-hour trading volume remained average at $1.14 billion.
Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation, also remained flat. It was trading at $3,470, down 0.06 per cent from its value 24 hours ago. Ether’s market capitalisation remains above $400 and trading volume over the past 24 hours was $1.28 billion.

The real push in the cryptocurrency space came from other altcoins such as XRP, Cardano, Stellar, Polkadot, Chainlink, Polygon and Litecoin.
It seems more investors are opting for investments in altcoins, signalling a shift in the cryptocurrency space. Many popular altcoins had been performing exceptionally well before a sharp plunge a few days ago.
The cryptocurrency market plunged on September 8 after delays in trade and El Salvador’s adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender. While prices fell sharply on Wednesday, cryptocurrencies rebounded slightly on Thursday and have recovered further today.
