Cryptocurrencies traded in the green early today on October 25. The global crypto market cap is $ 2.56 trillion, a 0.31 percent increase over the last day. While the total cryptocurrency market volume over the last 24 hours is $98.24 billion, which makes a 23.49 percent .

Bitcoin’s price is currently Rs 48,03,628 and its dominance is currently 45.37 percent, an increase of 0.30 percent over the day.

After Bitcoin touched all-time highs last week, meme cryptocurrency Shib Inu (SHIB) touched a record high on October 24 reaching a price of $0.00003995. The token even on October 25 (today), tops the WazirX exchange in terms of volume with Tether, Dogecoin, and Bitcoin trailing behind on second and third respectively.

Meanwhile, the world’s second most valuable cryptocurrency, ether, has been touching all-time highs in price ahead of a major upgrade of its underlying platform, ethereum. Ether is currently worth in aggregate just shy of $500 billion. That’s still slightly less than half that of the biggest cryptocurrency, bitcoin; but many are speculating over whether it is poised to take over the top spot.

And in the US, retail giant Walmart said it has kicked off a pilot program allowing shoppers to buy bitcoin at Coinstar kiosks in its stores. Walmart Inc on October 21 said customers at some of its US stores will be able to purchase bitcoin using ATM-like machines installed by Coinstar. Coinstar, known for its machines that can exchange physical coins for cash, has partnered with digital currency exchange CoinMe to let customers buy bitcoin at some of its kiosks.
