  • Marketing: Marketing of coins enhance the values of crypto coins by creating demand by their marketing strategies which leads to movement of their value. More the coverage by media only enhances the values of the coin.
  • Integrated System: This also causes the fluctuation of the coin because it can be utilized to buy products and services, which ultimately increases the demand.
  • Major Events: Any economic or political activities impact the price of cryptocurrency as well, and news can impact negatively or positively as per the news correction. The government makes policy or allow crypto coin in circulation, then it increases the demand, and if it criticizes, then it devaluates the value.
