![](https://www.cityam.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Crypto-AM-Daily-2023-1.jpeg?w=742)
Bitcoin is trading in the negative today, down by one per cent over 24 hours, while Ethereum seems to be going the other way and still trading above the key $2,000 level.
Among the third-gen cryptocurrencies, Polygon continues to rally with 5% gains overnight while others such as Solana pull back. The cryptocurrency known for its speedy throughput is in the red by more than 5%.
XRP saw a 10% surge in price yesterday, following on the heels of a now debunked rumour that BlackRock is also planning to launch an XRP ETF. The price of XRP quickly corrected after the asset manager quashed the rumours.
