Bitcoin, Ether Begin Trade on the Up While Dogecoin Slips Big

    Bitcoin has had a fluctuating run over the past 24 hours, varying within a range of 4 percent in what has been a dreadful day for global equity markets. Concerns over the rising number of new Omicron cases have led investors to consistently narrow their pockets on riskier assets like cryptocurrency. At the time of writing, Bitcoin's valuation is up by 2.31 percent over the past 24 hours after a 2.05 percent drop through Monday. Bitcoin is currently valued at $50,930 (roughly Rs. 38.57 lakh) on Indian exchange CoinSwitch Kuber, while global exchanges like CoinMarketCap show a 2.68 percent rise to see Bitcoin valued at $48,357 (roughly Rs. 36.62 lakh).
