From its last all-time high of $68,000 recorded last November, the year of 2022 pushed Bitcoin down the price ladder very drastically.

Binance Coin, Polkadot, Litecoin, Uniswap, and Solana joined BTC and ETH in reeling-in minor gains.

Cosmos, Stellar, and Bitcoin SV also settled with small profits.

Both meme coins, Shiba Inu and Dogecoin also saw minor price hikes on the second-last day of 2022. While DOGE is priced $0.070 (roughly Rs. 5.80), SHIB price stands at $0.0000081 (roughly Rs. 0.000670).

The overall crypto market rose by 0.09 percent in the last 24 hours. As per CoinMarketCap, the global crypto market cap stands at $795.8 billion (roughly Rs. 65,87,835 crore).

Despite the ongoing crypto slump, industry players have not lost all hope.

Huobi crypto exchange for instance, has revealed its plans of soon bringing a card service, that would make fiat-to-crypto transactions efficient and just a tap away.

On the other hand, KuCoin Labs, the incubation arm of KuCoin crypto exchange has announced a special programme to help blockchain builders to create products and services in the metaverse, NFT, and the Gamefi sectors.
