Edul Patel, the CEO and Co-Founder of crypto exchange Mudrex, told ABP Live, “After following a weekend of volatility in the crypto market, Bitcoin rose by nearly six percent in the past 24 hours recapturing the $20,000 back. We may likely see BTC trading sideways for the next few days. In addition to BTC, Ethereum and most cryptocurrencies traded in green as the whole crypto market has benefited from the US holiday.”


Commenting on the crypto market scenario on Monday, Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and Co-Founder of crypto exchange Unocoin told ABP Live, “On Monday the prices saw a dip of up to three percent. This trend has continued since the start of the weekend but this is still now less than the lowest among crypto prices we saw two weeks ago. This got coupled with an exchange in India called Vauld putting up a corporate statement scaring away their customers regarding restructuring or possible liquidation. The news could blow out of proportion over the next few days and Indian crypto investors need to be cautious about the uncertainties and panic sells if at all it happens.”
