The bounce in the price of the digital asset is likely going to fuel investor hopes once more that the worst year in the era of cryptocurrencies could be over. The actual cause of the rally is yet to be known, although the recent drop in prices which has also affected the equity markets has left investors eagerly anticipating a bottom to the market.

The rally comes in a time when investors reflect on a torrid year for the top digital asset having seen a whopping $700 billion wiped off the total value of the largest cryptocurrencies including XRP, and Ether. Today makes it one year that the price of Bitcoin (BTC) peaked at $19,000. Bitcoin (BTC) has been tumbling throughout the year as investors are concerned that global regulators may soon crack down on digital currencies, which can potentially hamper adoption and long-awaited institutional investments.

While Ripple (XRP), the second most valuable digital asset and Ethereum (ETH) have recorded similar loses throughout the year. The total value of cryptocurrencies added about $13 billion today, rising to $115 billion.

Bitcoin’s price has also added some $300 over the last 24 hours. Bitcoin (BTC) and many other top digital tokens tanked in Nov after a civil war among Bitcoin Cash (BCH) developers and miners resulted in panic which ultimately made investors to bail out of their positions, inevitably wiping off billions from the market capitalizations of cryptocurrencies.
