What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin climbed past $62,000 in the last 24 hours, driven by investors flocking back to spot Bitcoin ETFs and an increase in the USA’s real GDP. The next hurdle for BTC is at $62,700, with support around $61,400. Bulls are actively buying at these support levels. Meanwhile, Ethereum saw a 3% rise, anticipating the spot Ether ETF approval by July 4th. Solana also jumped 9% following VanEck’s filing for a Solana ETF.”
CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “Asset manager VanEck’s filing for the first Solana (SOL) exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the U.S. has sparked a 6% surge in SOL’s price, pushing it to $148. This follows closely on the heels of a similar Solana ETF launch in Canada just six days prior. The SEC’s approval of the first spot Bitcoin ETF and the anticipated approval of an Ether ETF signal a growing trend in crypto investment products. Analysts forecast that ETH ETFs could draw $5 billion within the first five months, driven largely by independent investment advisors and broker-dealer platforms. However, the absence of staking rewards might dampen the allure of these spot ETFs for some investors.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, said, “In a notable shift, Bitcoin posted gains as optimism swelled ahead of the anticipated Biden vs. Trump debate, with investors expecting cryptocurrency to be a focal point. However, the absence of any mention of crypto during the debate has led to concerns over potential impact for Bitcoin prices, possibly dampening industry enthusiasm. Maintaining its level above the $60,000 mark, Bitcoin is entrenched in oversold territory, indicating a prolonged bearish sentiment. Market analysts predict this phase of stagnation could extend for a few more weeks. In contrast, the forthcoming launch of the Ethereum ETF on July 4th is seen as a potential game-changer, with projections of Ethereum prices climbing above $5,000.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin has surpassed $61,500 as more than one million addresses now hold at least one whole bitcoin, marking a significant milestone. The increase reflects growing confidence in bitcoin’s long-term investment appeal amid market volatility. The rise of “wholecoiners” highlights the growing confidence in Bitcoin as a stable asset and store of value. With only 21 million Bitcoins ever in existence, owning them has become increasingly valuable, highlighting Bitcoin’s scarcity and intrinsic value. Bitcoin is currently trading at $61,585 with a market cap of $1.21 trillion, facing resistance at $62,700, but showing potential for further gains, supported by technical indicators and market sentiment.”
