Edul Patel, the CEO and Co-Founder of Mudrex, told ABP Live, “The largest cryptocurrency by market cap, Bitcoin, remained largely consolidated. ETH, too, barely moved out of the $1,700 range. Although the top cryptos did not move much, we did witness some movement across crypto sectors. Web3, for example, performed better than others. As institutional participants flock to the market for scouting directional trades, we might keep an eye out for trend line breakouts this week.”
Commenting on the crypto market scenario, Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and Co-Founder of Unocoin told ABP Live, “The mixed market reactions continued during Friday and weekend. The ups and downs existed all across the time for close to generally no net gain by the end of Sunday. The only sector that saw some gain was alternates of Ethereum blockchain. There was a confusion between the founders of Binance and WazirX about who owns WazirX that created slight panic during the weekend in India and it seems to have subsided by end of the day on Sunday.”
