What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario


Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is on an upward trend showing strong resilience, recovering from the support levels near $94k. Currently trading at $97,200, BTC is building momentum to sustain at the $100k level. The broader market saw some correction triggering over $450 million in liquidations across tokens. Investors remain cautious with all eyes on the CPI data. Meanwhile, XRP rallies over 20% from its low after NYDFS approves Ripple’s stablecoin - RLUSD bringing renewed interest in the market.”


CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Crypto markets tumbled after Microsoft shareholders rejected a proposal to diversify into Bitcoin, sparking a wave of selling pressure. Bitcoin slipped below the $95K mark, dragging several altcoins deeper into the red. Over $500M worth of leveraged positions, primarily longs, were liquidated within 24 hours. Ethereum dropped to the $3,500 range, with many altcoins seeing double-digit losses. The Greed & Fear Index eased to 74, reflecting a market reset amid the broader correction. In contrast, MARA Holdings boosted its Bitcoin reserves with a $1.1B purchase, reaching an industry-first 50 EH/s hashrate, though its shares still closed down 4.4%.”


Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “Bitcoin is facing intense volatility in December, with liquidation over $2.9 billion. Despite extreme price movements, the derivatives market is now exhibiting lower leverage, which allows room for new potential all-time highs. Institutional investors like MicroStrategy and Riot Platforms have driven accumulations. Market saw Bitcoin ETF inflows over $15.2 billion since October. Bitcoin's fundamentals seem stronger than ever, supporting bullish momentum as the demand for leveraged positions stabilizes and futures premiums revert to neutral.” 


Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin (BTC) remains volatile, trading at $97,604 after a sharp price drop from $101,430 on Dec. 8 to $94,200 on Dec. 9, wiping out $2.9 billion in leveraged positions. Despite this, Bitcoin's derivatives market shows healthier signals, with reduced funding rates and an 8% decline in open interest since Nov. 25. Spot ETFs in the U.S. added $15.2 billion since October, reflecting strong institutional appetite. MicroStrategy, Riot Platforms, and Marathon Digital have also increased holdings. While optimism remains, short-term risks linger amid leverage-based volatility and market uncertainty ahead of Trump’s inauguration.”


Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The cryptocurrency market has witnessed remarkable developments, highlighted by a record-breaking inflow of $3.85 billion into crypto investment products, bringing the total for the year to $41 billion. This surge is primarily driven by institutional interest, particularly in Bitcoin and Ethereum, which saw inflows of $2.5 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. Furthermore, following the regulators' approval of Ripple's stablecoin, XRP gained momentum and experienced a 10% surge. Expectations for additional investments and possible ETF launches suggest a positive future outlook as institutional adoption continues to grow.”
