The crypto price chart saw profits and losses hit several popular cryptocurrencies, indicating at prevailing market volatility on April 28, Thursday. Bitcoin, that opened with gains of 2.24 percent, is currently priced at $41,912 (roughly Rs. 32 lakh) as per Indian exchange CoinSwitch Kuber. The world's oldest cryptocurrency managed to score similar gains on international exchanges as well.

Ether also bagged gains, but smaller in comparison to Bitcoin. ETH value grew by 1.86 percent taking its price to $3,080 (roughly Rs. 2.35 lakh) as per Gadgets 360's crypto price tracker.

Ether also saw growth on international exchanges such as Binance with small gains of around 1.86 percent. ETH's value, as per foreign exchanges, stands at $2,900 (roughly Rs. 2 lakh).

With similarly smaller but significant gains, altcoins such as Binance Coin, Solana, Terra, and Cardano also stayed in the upper half of the price ladder.

Polkadot and Litecoin also roped in profits, contributing to the greens on the crypto charts.

On the contrary, stablecoins pegged to the US dollar such as Tether, USD Coin, and Binance USD saw losses.

Even Dogecoin slipped down on the crypto price charts after a short-lived hike period it observed after Twitter accepted Elon Musk's buy-out offer of $44 billion (roughly Rs. 3,36,448 crore) on April 26.

Shiba Inu, Polkadot, and Polygon also found themselves laying low on the price charts.

Despite the present volatility, industry insiders are sure that the crypto market will continue to see growth in the coming times.

Industrial investments also continue to pour into the virtual assets industry, pushing its chances of future growth.
