As the New York stock market closed higher on a rebound in tech stocks, virtual asset prices also rose slightly across the board. Bitcoin barely held the $60,000 level.
On the 30th, on CoinMarketCap, a global virtual asset market tracker, Bitcoin was transaction at $60,161 as of 8:30 a.m. The price is up 1.09% from 24 hours earlier.
During the same period, Ethereum rose 2.34% to $1,608, and XRP (Ripple) was transaction at $1.05, up 0.86%. Solana gained 5.31% to $74.92.
Earlier gains in the New York stock market on a rebound in tech stocks appear to have also affected the virtual asset market, according to analyses.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 306.63 points, or 0.59%, to close at 52,182.74, topping 52,000 for the first time. The Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 index added 86.41 points, or 1.18%, to 7,440.43, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite climbed 522.53 points, or 2.07%, to 25,820.14.
The status of U.S.-Iran cease-fire talks also appears to have had an impact. In addition to agreeing to stop the reciprocal attacks they had repeated through the weekend, the two countries decided to try to resolve the dispute over the Strait of Hormuz on the 30th.
