What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Following a favourable federal court decision for Ripple, Bitcoin has witnessed a surge, reaching a one-year high above the $31,700 level. Although BTC has stabilised since then, it is currently trading at the $30,400 level, indicating a 4 percent increase over the past day. The month-to-date performance of Bitcoin has resulted in a 3 percent gain, while the year-to-date increase is an impressive 89 percent. In a remarkable display of strength, XRP has outperformed BTC by surging over 61 percent within the last 24 hours, reaching its highest point in a year. Ethereum, as the second-largest cryptocurrency, has also achieved a significant milestone by surpassing the $2,000 mark. Additionally, the global market cap has experienced substantial growth, rising to $1.26 trillion, reflecting a 6 percent increase over the past day. Overall, the current market sentiment looks bullish.”

Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “These market gains have been triggered by a US court ruling which is partially in favour of Ripple. The court has stated that the trading of XRP (+61.9 percebt) amongst retail investors can't be dubbed as a "securities" sale. The SEC continues to hold its stance against the ruling and will likely re-appeal, but overall this has set a strong precedence for the sector and has resulted in a massive rally in prices.”

Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, offered his take, “Bitcoin surged to $31,328, a 3.2 percent increase in the last 24 hours. It reached $31,700, breaking free from the $30,000-$31,000 range it had been stuck in for three weeks. Ripple's court ruling provided a temporary boost, affirming the legality of XRP token sales but deeming institutional sales as securities law violations. On WazirX, Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM) have been the top gainers in the last 24 hours.”

Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “On Thursday, XRP token saw a significant increase following a favourable ruling by a judge in the Southern District of New York. The judge said that XRP ‘is not necessarily a security on its face,’ leading to a 71 percent increase in its price to around 80 cents per coin, according to Coin Metrics. The development brought new hope to cryptocurrency investors, who were relieved that other altcoins could be exempted from securities classification. Other altcoins also saw notable gains: Polygon's matrix token rose 17.82 percent, Litecoin and Solana jumped 18.35 percent, and Cardano's token rose 20.31 percent. In addition, Bitcoin and Ether gained support and their prices increased by more than 4 percent and 6 percent respectively”

Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The remarkable market volume totaled $67.05 billion, representing a significant rise of 119.27 percent over the prior time frame. The decentralised finance industry (DeFi) contributed $3.78 billion to this market, which is a significant 5.63 percent of the 24-hour volume of the entire crypto market. A well-known cryptocurrency called Bitcoin is at present priced at $31,457. Due to its potential impact on the market as a whole, this price point is significant and attracts market participants' attention.” 

CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “The recent CPI announcement revealed that inflation in the United States continues to cool, with the regular CPI reaching 3 percent YoY, slightly lower than the estimated 3.1 percent. Moreover, the Core CPI for June stood at 4.8 percent YoY, below the expected 5 percent. Historically, falling inflation has been seen as a bullish sign for markets, indicating a potential end to the Federal Reserve's hawkish monetary policy. However, the crypto markets, which had hoped for a boost following the CPI announcement, remain in a consolidation phase.”
