Cryptocurrency updates on Nov 8: Bitcoin above $65,000; Shiba Inu plunges
Nov 8, 2021 12:56 AM

Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, rose over 5 percent on Monday to $65,000, for the first time since October 20, having risen nearly 8 percent in the last seven days. It hit a record high of $67,000 on October 20.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin's dominance in the market is decreasing. From 46 percent last month to 43 percent on Monday. As its dominance drops, experts believe the market's narrative is shifting to altcoins. As the week begins, tokens like Solana continue to grab the attention of traders.

Solana has surged to the number 4 position on the crypto table. Meaning, it is now the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The coin has left behind the likes of Tether, Cardano, and Ripple XRP. While it has slipped 3 percent in the last 24 hours, it has surged over 20 percent in the past seven days.

Another coin surging to record high is Ether, the second-largest coin. It has jumped over 3 percent in the last 24 hours, rising to a record high of $4,700. The coin is up over 10 percent in the last seven days.

Binance Coin, the third-largest coin, is down over 2 percent in 24 hours, after rising over 22 percent in the previous week. Cardano has slipped to number 6 position on the top 10 coins table, but it has risen over 2 percent over the past day.

Ripple's XRP has also surged over 9 percent over the last 24 hours and over 15 percent over the last 7 days. Polkadot have also enjoyed a decent rally over the past 7 days, rising over 23 percent.

Dogecoin is up nearly 3 percent Monday morning after registering a decline of 0.75 percent in the past few days. Shiba Inu, having fallen over 24 percent in the past seven days, has dropped to the 11th position.
