What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario


Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “With a price surge of about 5 percent within the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has been trading above the $27,000 level. Similarly, The overall crypto market volume has grown by over 100 percent in the same time frame. This positive growth could be because of a recent legal decision involving Grayscale within the United States. The court ruled in favour of Grayscale in its lawsuit against the Securities and Exchange Commission, revolving around transforming the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust into an Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). This development has caused optimism among market participants, steering market prices upwards. The aftermath of this legal ruling might set the stage for other major corporate players to pursue licenses for Bitcoin spot ETFs in the coming months. It could also improve the prospects of approvals for applications from notable names like BlackRock and Fidelity.”


Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager, CoinSwitch Markets Desk, said, “The crypto market has seen a positive price action in the last 24 hours. As per CoinGecko, global crypto market capitalization (+3.8 per cent) added approx. $50 billion, and is currently around $1.13 trillion. The fear and greed index has jumped 10 points and has entered the neutral zone with the current score of 49/100. This market and investor sentiment boost comes after a U.S. court order to the SEC to review Grayscale’s long-awaited application to convert its Bitcoin trust into an exchange-traded fund (ETF). While the court order to the SEC does not guarantee an ETF, it surely does ease the way for one.”


Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The market reaction to Grayscale winning the lawsuit against the SEC shows that the digital asset industry is held back due to a lack of regulatory framework. The wave of positive developments around the crypto industry has come as a fresh lease of life for the crypto industry which has been battling hostile regulations, dampened investor mood, and crypto winter. We are optimistic that Grayscale getting court approval for Bitcoin ETF will work as a template for similar financial products around the world.”
