Crypto Price Today: Bitcoin tops $29k; Ethereum trades above $1,900; Polygon & Avalanche rise 3%

After some beatdown, Bitcoin and other top crypto tokens were mostly back in recovery mode ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s monetary policy later in the day. The US central bank is expected to increase the interest rate by 25 basis points on Wednesday. Korean crypto markets continued to remain stronger.

Bitcoin was trading higher as the largest crypto token rose another 2 per cent in the last 24 hours to scale the $29,000 level. Its largest peer, Ethereum, posted similar gains; the second-largest crypto asset jumped as much as 2 per cent and topped the $1,900 mark.

Bitcoin regains strength post Federal Reserve raising interest rates by 25 basis points. The Fed signaled that Wednesday’s rise maybe it is the last one for now, said Edul Patel, CEO and Co-Founder of Mudrex.
