What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The crypto market is witnessing its best performance of 2023 owing to the growing euphoria around Blackrock Bitcoin spot ETF approval as it has been listed on the DTCC ( Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) as IBTC. Bitcoin is widely perceived as a hedge against inflation and is often referred to as ‘Digital Gold’. Bitcoin and Ether surged by over 12 percent and 7 percent, respectively, and a similar trend was observed across crypto assets. Traders are actively looking at digital assets in these turbulent times to safeguard their wealth from economic uncertainty.”
