The price of Bitcoin hovered around Rs 15.61 lakh. The market dominance of world's largest cryptocurrency declined marginally by 0.19 percent to 42.06 percent early today.

Meanwhile, Facebook parent Meta has announced it will shut down its digital wallet for cryptocurrency, Novi, on September 1, 2022, barely a year after it started the project.

The product didn't even make it to a full launch, closing its doors at pilot stage. Meta said the Novi app and its integration with WhatsApp will no longer be available and users will not be able to sign in to their accounts after the expiry date.

The move coincides with the mayhem in the cryptocurrency space, with prices crashing to new lows.
