It was a steady weekend in the crypto markets, with the price of bitcoin largely managing to hold above the $21k level. The largest cryptocurrency by market cap is changing hands for around $21,400 this morning, roughly flat over the past 24 hours and up three per cent since this time last week.

Despite the apparent risk-off approach from investors, other major cryptocurrencies are generally outperforming Bitcoin at the moment. Bitcoin’s dominance reached an 11-month high of 48.36% on June 11, but its share of the overall crypto market cap has declined to 43.46% at the moment. The majority are in the red this morning though, with Ethereum down one per cent to around $1,230.
