The prices of most major digital assets have increased in the cryptocurrency market over the past 24 hours, APA-Economics reports.

According to data from the CoinMarketCap platform, the price of Bitcoin has increased by 0.78% over the past 24 hours, reaching $82,702.71. However, the cryptocurrency has declined by 1.06% over the past 7 days, while gaining 1.72% over the past 30 days.

Ethereum rose by 1.26% to $2,442.05, BNB increased by 1.55% to $740.69, and Zcash surged by 10.29% to $1,261.93.

Other cryptocurrencies also showed mostly positive dynamics. Bitcoin Cash rose by 1.65% to $284.21, Bittensor increased by 1.43% to $271.40, and Solana gained 0.56% to reach $105.76.

Meanwhile, Monero, contrary to the overall market trend, declined by 4.37% to $576.76.

Gold-backed cryptocurrencies also recorded declines. PAX Gold (PAXG) fell by 0.35% to $4,124.50, while Tether Gold (XAUT) dropped by 0.48% to $4,119.22.

The CoinMarketCap 20 index increased by 1.17% over the past 24 hours to 168.09 points. Bitcoin's market capitalization stood at $1.66 trillion.

Analysts say the rise in cryptocurrency prices may be attributed to a partial recovery following declines observed in previous days and increased buying activity among investors. However, the fact that some major cryptocurrencies continue to show negative weekly performance indicates that selling pressure in the market has not yet fully subsided.
