What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin has settled to trading above the $27,000 mark, following the rapid growth due to Grayscale’s legal victory against the US SEC yesterday. Following the ruling, the market is in a state of careful optimism regarding the forthcoming decision about the Bitcoin spot ETF in the United States. The market awaits word from the SEC as the initial deadline on September 1st for Bitwise's application approaches. Ethereum, on the other hand, has been trading around the $1,700 range.”

Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager, CoinSwitch Markets Desk, said, “Most of the top 10 cryptos by market capitalization were trading in the red. BTC (-0.7 percent) seems to have lost the momentum it had gained after Grayscale’s historic win against the SEC. However, analysts predict a 75 percent chance that Bitcoin ETFs will get approval this year. The SEC is also expected to rule on the ETF applications submitted by other players like BlackRock, Fidelity, Invesco, and WisdomTree, this week. ”

Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “Crypto market sentiments show extreme volatility as Bitcoin’s price decreases soon after its 7 percent increase. This came as an aftermath of an appeals court overturning the SEC’s decision to block Grayscale’s ETF proposal. Markets in Asia started in red as the enthusiasm around the ETF verdict started diminishing. The downtrend that had been there in the last few weeks seems to be looming again. This can only be countered if Bitcoin breaks out of the $30,000 levels.”
