What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario


Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures, said, “Even amidst regulatory challenges and liquidity issues in the market, BTC and ETH have shown a strong resilience. BTC, trading around $25,700, continues to hold its $25,000 psychological support. More so, BTC’s dominance is nearing the 50 percent mark for the first time since April 2021. This is happening against the backdrop of selling pressure within altcoins, particularly those mentioned in the SEC lawsuit, including SOL, ADA and MATIC. ETH, down 1.2 percent in the last 24 hours, is currently trading above $1,700.”


Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, offered his take, "US regulators target crypto exchanges, labelling major altcoins securities. Yet, crypto shows resilience. Bitcoin starts the week at $25,912 and Ether at $1,748. Liquidity has worsened due to institutional investors exiting amid SEC scrutiny concerns. Despite S&P 500's monthly highs, the crypto market remains troublesome. On WazirX, Ethereum Naming Service (ENS) and pNetwork (PNT) have been the top gainers in the last 24 hours."


Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder, Unocoin said, “Prominent financial services company Robinhood caused a significant drop in several top blockchain-based cryptocurrencies overnight when it announced the removal of Cardano (ADA), Polygon (MATIC), and Solana (SOL) from its platform. The move coincides with recent lawsuits filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against major exchanges Binance and Coinbase, namely ADA, MATIC, and SOL. Market concerns about the SEC's actions further intensified as Binance's native BNB token saw a significant 9.5 percent drop in the past 24 hours. The overall sentiment in the market is one of uncertainty and volatility, with flagship cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum also affected, with losses of 3.48 percent and 5.55 percent, respectively.”


Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The crypto market is yet to respond to the US Fed's decision to pause rate hikes. It is important to note that US Fed has increased interest rates by 500 basis points since it started its war against inflation and prevent the economy from slipping into possible recession. The crypto market may respond positively to the latest development related to rate hikes in the coming weeks but the real relief will come if interest rates are brought down to boost market liquidity. BTC and ETH remained almost flat with marginal fluctuations during the 24 hours.”
