Speaking to Gadgets 360, Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager, CoinSwitch Markets Desk highlighted that apart from USDT and USDC, the top 10 cryptos by market capitalisation have seen positive price action over the last day. “BTC managed to break the $30,000 (roughly Rs. 24.8 lakh) resistance level but failed to sustain the momentum. On the other hand, popular memecoin PEPE (+7.4 percent) has recently found new support and has seen a significant uptick in terms of the volume of coins traded,” Hudda said.

Only a small number of cryptocurrencies recorded losses today.

These include Wrapped Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Cosmos, Braintrust, and Augur among some others.

“In other news, BlackRock's much-awaited Bitcoin ETF is likely six months away and is more of a question of ‘when, and not if'. This development is set to boost the inflow of institutional money into the biggest digital asset in the world,” Hudda noted.
