Crypto market movements & cues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The global cryptocurrency market cap stood around $4.17 trillion with 24\u2011hour trading volume near $170 billion. Bitcoin dominance held at roughly 55 %, while Ethereum\u2019s share rose to 13.6 %. Domestically, prices tracked global trends but with slightly higher volatility due to the rupee\u2019s weakness around \u20b988 per US dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local cues<\/strong>: India\u2019s lack of a comprehensive regulatory framework remains a drag on institutional participation, yet retail interest is growing. Tax rules announced earlier in the year continue to shape market behavior, with investors booking profits ahead of quarterly filings. On exchanges like CoinSwitch, WazirX and CoinDCX, volumes were concentrated in major pairs such as BTC\u2011INR, ETH\u2011INR, and DOGE\u2011INR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global cues<\/strong>: Investor sentiment improved after U.S. inflation data showed signs of moderation, reducing fears of aggressive rate hikes. Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs saw steady inflows, supporting prices. In the U.S., regulators postponed decisions on several crypto\u2011ETF proposals, keeping uncertainty elevated. Elsewhere, Ethereum developers announced progress on the next network upgrade, boosting confidence in the ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
