The cryptocurrency is up more than 5% this morning at $17,900 Ether (ETH) It is up over 7% to $1,340. The market capitalization increased by 4.15% and was valued at US$ 876.68 billion.

The index lost strength in November, falling from October, indicating that the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike efforts are having an effect.
