Crypto markets traded mostly higher at 6:30 AM IST on Sunday, May 24, 2026, with Polygon leading gains at 2.57% while BNB was the only decliner.

Bitcoin opened the Sunday morning session at ₹73.45 lakh ($76,767.66) as of 6:30 AM IST on May 24, 2026, edging up 0.15% over the past 24 hours. The world’s largest cryptocurrency by market value held steady in early trade, offering a broadly constructive start to the week for Indian crypto investors tracking overnight moves.

Ethereum traded at ₹2.03 lakh ($2,117.70), posting a modest 24-hour gain of 0.12%. BNB was the session’s sole decliner, slipping a fractional 0.01% to ₹62,732.59 ($655.65), making it the weakest performer across the tracked universe — though the loss was negligible in practical terms.

Among the mid-cap tokens, Solana advanced 0.27% to ₹8,217.96 ($85.89), while XRP gained 0.26% to reach ₹130.22 ($1.36). Cardano added 0.09% to trade at ₹23.55 ($0.2461), and Dogecoin rose a slim 0.08% to ₹9.86 ($0.10306). Polkadot climbed 0.07% to ₹123.71 ($1.29), and Chainlink gained 0.24% to ₹916.61 ($9.58).

The standout performer of the morning was Polygon, which surged 2.57% to ₹20.88 ($0.2182) — a notably sharper move compared to the rest of the field, where gains were largely confined to fractions of a percentage point. Polygon’s advance placed it well clear of second-ranked Solana at 0.27% and third-placed XRP at 0.26%.

On the other end of the ledger, BNB’s 0.01% dip was the only negative print across the ten tracked assets. Polkadot and Dogecoin, while technically listed among the weakest performers, both recorded positive 24-hour moves of 0.07% and 0.08% respectively, underscoring just how contained overnight selling pressure was.

Across the full set of ten cryptocurrencies in this morning’s data, nine were trading in positive territory and only one showed a decline. The USD/INR rate used for conversions was ₹95.68.
