“In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin saw a slight dip amid rising US Treasury yields impacting riskier assets. The cryptocurrency market is still thriving, as evidenced by the impressive $2.2 billion (roughly Rs. 18,497 crore) inflow into Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs in the last week, which suggests strong institutional interest. This surge reflects growing confidence as investors anticipate potential bullish trends. As we look ahead, the outlook remains positive for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,” Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin told Gadgets360.
Ether registered a drop of 1.14 percent over the last 24 hours. On foreign exchanges, ETH is trading at $2,613 (roughly Rs. 2.19 lakh). Nationally, ETH is currently priced around $2,657 (roughly Rs. 2.23 lakh), showed the crypto price tracker by Gadgets360.

Further losses to $2,400 (roughly Rs. 2.01 lakh) or possibly $2,200 (roughly Rs. 1.84 lakh) are probable if there is weak support below $2,600 (roughly Rs. 2.18 lakh),” Avinash Shekhar, Co-Founder and CEO, Pi42 told Gadgets360.
