Crypto Market Sees Slight Rebound During SEC, CFTC Hearings

The crypto markets have seen a slight uptick Tuesday, Feb. 6, after Monday’s sharp decline.

Bitcoin (BTC) is still trading around the $7000 mark, about $7,171.42 by press time and up 1.28 percent over a 24-hour period. This is almost $1000 up from a low today that had brought BTC to almost $6,000.

Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) have gone up 4.59 and 1.65 percent over a 24-hour period respectively, trading at around $732.13 and $0.70.

Total crypto market cap is about $339 bln, up from an early morning low of around $276 bln.

AltcoinsNEO and NEM were markedly up compared to the rest of the top ten coins listed on CoinMarketCap, up almost 12 percent each over a 24-hour period and trading at $91.40 and $0.51 by press time.
