What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin traded above the $63,000 level over the weekend, showcasing a 23% climb in the last week and an impressive 45% surge in the preceding 30 days. IntoTheBlock reports that 97% of all Bitcoin addresses are currently profitable, marking a milestone unseen in over two years.  The upswing in price is credited to the growing mainstream adoption of spot Bitcoin ETFs and the upcoming Bitcoin Halving event. Bulls are currently active in the market and are eyeing $67,150”

Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “With the overall crypto market rising, global crypto M.Cap continues to pick up; crossing the $2.5 trillion level for the first time since December 2021. Simultaneously, with weekly gains of over 23%, BTC (+2.7% in the last 24 hours) is currently trading at over $63.5K; ETH (+1.4%) is trading at over $3.4K. Data shows that BTC withdrawals from exchanges are happening at a rapid pace, indicating rising investor activity. This could be a signal of a bullish future, given that BTC’s prices are maintained and the Crypto Fear and Greed Index continues to stay in the ‘Extreme Greed’ region with a score of 82/100.”

Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Bitcoin soared above $64,000 on Monday, nearing its all-time high from November 2021. Over the past 24 hours, $59.27 million in Bitcoin positions were liquidated, with $38.52 million in shorts. The surge is linked to growing mainstream adoption, notably through Spot Bitcoin ETFs, fostering a stronger holding mentality. Long-term Bitcoin holders have reaped the most significant profits in this new wave of enthusiasm.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin's price at $62,000 sees a slight dip of 0.10% amid regulatory shifts and market movements. The UK's expanded seizure powers under the Economic Crime Act may bolster investor confidence, while Marathon Digital's Anduro platform aims to enhance Bitcoin's capabilities, potentially impacting its value. Nigeria's clarification on Binance fines underscores regulatory uncertainties. Despite challenges, Bitcoin remains bullish above $60,750, supported by technical indicators. Green Bitcoin introduces Gamified Green Staking, promoting eco-consciousness and offering rewards, shaping a sustainable financial landscape.”

Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, "Bitcoin surged above $64,000 again, being only 10% away from its ATH ($69,000). Bitcoin's market capitalization currently stands at $1.25 trillion with market dominance at 52.23%, after seeing an increase of 0.54% in the last 24 hours. Ethereum, on the other hand, is trying to break the $3,600 level, which could potentially push the second-largest cryptocurrency beyond $4,000."
