Snapshot:
After a long wait of three months, the cryptocurrency market hits $2 trillion. According to crypto experts, the bitcoin price rally, as well as the crypto rally on a large scale, showed the global acceptance of cryptocurrency, including the Indian subcontinent.
Bitcoin price experienced a surge and soon touched $47,000 after a long dip of three months. The top cryptocurrency since then is trading in green with a market cap of more than $848 billion as stated by CoinMarketCap.
The remarkable Bitcoin price rally was witnessed right after the Ethereum price hike. The new ethereum upgrade, London Hard fork, is considered to be the reason behind the raised prices of ether. Various altcoins are also trading in the green while few, such as Solana (SOL) and Tron (TRX) are ready to set new all-time highs.
The global acceptance of crypto has brought about this change where different brands are negotiating to incorporate a cryptocurrency payment gateway. The acceptance of crypto in India has also increased. Amidst all this, CoinDCX, India’s largest cryptocurrency exchange also became India’s first crypto Unicorn. All these factors have indeed resulted in the current bull run the crypto market is witnessing across the globe and in India.
