In the last 24 hours, the value of Bitcoin fell by $544 (roughly Rs. 45,355). Despite this minor setback, Bitcoin has garnered appreciation from the market experts after it demonstrated a 14 percent increase month-to-date and an impressive 162 percent surge year-to-date.

Ether rose in value by 4.65 percent, taking a different trajectory than Bitcoin. The crypto asset is currently trading at $2,367 (roughly Rs. 1.97 lakh). Over the last 24 hours, the value of ETH has risen by $117 (roughly Rs. 9,754).

The current market momentum is expected to be sustained owing to positive macroeconomic factors,” Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin told Gadgets360.
