Digital Desk: On Sunday, when the market began to show
some signs of stabilisation, Ether and Bitcoin reached their highest values in

After
tumbling as low as $17,742.83 on June 19, Bitcoin No. 1 reached a high of

cryptocurrencies retook the $1 trillion mark on Saturday. However, as of 9.20
a.m. Singapore time on Monday, it was slightly below that level.
