Bitcoin dominance remained above 57&nbsp;% with the leading cryptocurrency trading just under US$110,000 (\u2248&nbsp;\u20b997.6&nbsp;lakh) while Ethereum hovered around US$3,920 (\u2248&nbsp;\u20b93.56&nbsp;lakh). Trading volumes were light as traders stayed on the sidelines ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decision. Analysts expect the Fed to trim benchmark rates by 25&nbsp;basis points, yet sticky inflation and a resilient U.S. dollar limited risk appetite. The crypto Fear &amp;&nbsp;Greed Index slipped into the <strong>\u201cFear\u201d<\/strong> zone (34), reflecting caution after this month\u2019s sharp volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In India, crypto sentiment was mixed. Market participants tracked global cues while continuing to grapple with a lack of regulatory clarity. At the Global&nbsp;Fintech&nbsp;Fest earlier this month, regulators signalled that they are not yet ready to embrace crypto and stablecoins, focusing instead on the central bank digital currency (e\u2011rupee) and fintech innovations. This ambivalence continues to dampen institutional participation in India, but retail interest remains strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitcoin &amp;&nbsp;Ethereum price movement (24\u2011h)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Metric<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Bitcoin (BTC)<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Ethereum (ETH)<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Price (approx.

Bitcoin and Ethereum slipped modestly yet held key support levels, while selected gaming and social tokens delivered impressive gains. The mood in India remains mixed; regulators are prioritising the digital rupee over cryptocurrencies, but retail traders continue to explore both major coins and speculative altcoins. As global macro events unfold, traders should stay nimble and watch for sudden shifts in sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep up with crypto news and bitcoin updates download <em><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.coinswitch.kuber\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.coinswitch.kuber\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1ec677\" class=\"has-inline-color\">CoinSwitch the Crypto Trading App<\/mark><\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#1ec677;color:#1ec677\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crypto News Today: Indian Market Sentiment \u2013 29 October 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Indian <strong>crypto market<\/strong> mirrored global caution today.

Altcoins were mixed: speculative AI and gaming tokens like <strong>ChainOpera&nbsp;AI<\/strong> and <strong>Limitless<\/strong> attracted heavy interest, while privacy\u2011coins and meme\u2011tokens saw pull\u2011backs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Local cues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>India\u2019s regulatory landscape remains uncertain. A recent government document suggests that authorities are <strong>not rushing to introduce a comprehensive crypto framework<\/strong>, preferring partial oversight because of systemic\u2011risk concerns and the Reserve&nbsp;Bank of India\u2019s cautious stance. High taxes (30&nbsp;% on gains and 1&nbsp;% TDS on every trade) continue to deter speculative trading, keeping volumes relatively subdued on domestic exchanges. Meanwhile, discussions around a central bank digital currency (CBDC) are gaining traction as policymakers emphasize the need to protect the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) from stablecoin disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Global cues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Globally, macro events weighed on sentiment. Hong&nbsp;Kong regulators approved <strong>Asia\u2019s first Solana spot ETF<\/strong>, expanding institutional access to altcoins and spotlighting <strong>Solana<\/strong> as a coin to watch. At the same time, the <strong>U.S. government shutdown<\/strong> has delayed key crypto legislation, stoking uncertainty. The <strong>Fear&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Greed Index<\/strong> remains around <strong>27\u201329 (Fear)<\/strong>, underscoring investor caution. BTC and ETH liquidation maps reveal dense clusters of leveraged positions, indicating that a break outside current ranges could trigger cascading stops. News of Kadena\u2019s core team dissolution and Tether\u2019s supply surpassing 500&nbsp;million users also influenced sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top trending coins in India<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CoinGecko\u2019s popularity metrics show that the most searched tokens in India today include <strong>Origin&nbsp;(LGNS)<\/strong>, <strong>Undeads&nbsp;Games&nbsp;(UDS)<\/strong>, <strong>LAB<\/strong>, <strong>Bitcoin<\/strong>, <strong>Shiba&nbsp;Inu (SHIB)<\/strong>, <strong>Kadena&nbsp;(KDA)<\/strong>, <strong>Ethereum<\/strong>, <strong>ChainOpera&nbsp;AI<\/strong>, <strong>Solana (SOL)<\/strong>, <strong>EVAA Protocol<\/strong>, <strong>Aster<\/strong>, <strong>Limitless (LMTS)<\/strong>, <strong>Pepe (PEPE)<\/strong>, <strong>Zcash (ZEC)<\/strong> and <strong>XRP<\/strong>. Many of these tokens are small caps with thin liquidity, so price moves can be dramatic. Investors should conduct thorough <strong>crypto market analysis<\/strong> before taking positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crypto Updates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Solana spot ETF approved<\/strong> \u2013 Hong&nbsp;Kong\u2019s securities regulator approved Asia\u2019s first <strong>Solana<\/strong> ETF, scheduled to list on October&nbsp;27.

However, extreme fear in sentiment indicators suggests that traders are ready to sell into rallies. Global macro events (such as U.S. economic data releases and progress on crypto ETF approvals) will likely drive volatility. For Indian investors, continued regulatory ambiguity and high transaction taxes may keep volumes muted. <strong>Altcoins<\/strong> that delivered outsized gains today could see profit\u2011taking tomorrow; conversely, oversold names like <strong>Zcash<\/strong> might bounce if sentiment improves.

While no major announcements were made today, market participants expect clarity around taxation and compliance in the coming months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Global cues:<\/strong> Macro factors such as U.S. treasury yields, inflation data and upcoming Federal Reserve remarks are influencing risk sentiment. Traders are also monitoring developments around potential spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF approvals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coins to watch:<\/strong> <strong>BNB<\/strong>, <strong>XRP<\/strong>, and <strong>Solana (SOL)<\/strong> remain key movers. BNB is hovering around \u20b994,000; a rebound above \u20b995,000 could indicate renewed strength.

In the early morning session, the global crypto\u2011market cap hovered around <strong>$3.75&nbsp;trillion<\/strong> with a 24\u2011hour gain above <strong>3&nbsp;%<\/strong>, and volumes improved as traders bought the dip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Local investors tracked the rupee closely \u2013 with the <strong>USD\/INR rate at ~87.78<\/strong>, Bitcoin\u2019s recovery translated into an impressive jump back near the \u20b99.75&nbsp;million mark.

According to the latest market data, Bitcoin traded around $108,400 (\u2248&nbsp;\u20b995.32&nbsp;lakh), while Ethereum hovered near $3,900 (\u2248&nbsp;\u20b93.43&nbsp;lakh). Both coins saw price swings within tight ranges as cautious sentiment and macro\u2011economic concerns weighed on digital assets. This <strong>crypto market update<\/strong> shows overall market capitalisation dipped below the $3.8&nbsp;trillion mark, with major tokens struggling to gain traction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crypto Market Overview and Cues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Global Sentiment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Weak risk appetite:<\/strong> International markets remain cautious amid softer economic data from the US and Europe. The U.S. Federal Reserve\u2019s hawkish stance and potential rate hikes have dampened risk sentiment, prompting investors to reduce exposure to high\u2011beta assets like cryptocurrencies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Support levels breached:<\/strong> Both Bitcoin and Ethereum dipped below important support zones ($110,000 and $4,000 respectively), triggering additional selling pressure. Altcoins such as Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano also fell sharply over the past week, reflecting broader market volatility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Institutional activity:<\/strong> Despite short\u2011term weakness, institutional interest persists. Reports indicate large holders continue accumulating Ethereum, and inflows into crypto investment products remain stable. However, profit\u2011taking dominates today\u2019s trading, reinforcing a cautious outlook.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Local Cues and Regulatory Environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tax investigation:<\/strong> India\u2019s tax authority has launched a major investigation into more than 400 Binance traders suspected of evading crypto taxes between 2022 and 2025. Authorities have asked local tax offices to submit findings by 17&nbsp;Oct&nbsp;2025, signalling stricter enforcement. This probe highlights India\u2019s stringent taxation regime (30&nbsp;% on gains plus 1&nbsp;% TDS) and contributes to cautious trading among high\u2011net\u2011worth investors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rupee dynamics:<\/strong> The Indian rupee traded near 88&nbsp;per US&nbsp;dollar today. A slightly firmer rupee made dollar\u2011denominated crypto assets more expensive in local terms, adding to bearish pressure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Market participation:<\/strong> Indian exchanges reported muted volumes as traders awaited clarity on regulatory developments and global cues. Retail interest largely centred on memecoin trading and short\u2011term speculation in small\u2011cap tokens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitcoin &amp; Ethereum Price Movement (Crypto Market Update)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Metric<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/pro\/btc-inr\/csx\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/pro\/btc-inr\/csx\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1ec677\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Bitcoin<\/mark><\/a>&nbsp;(BTC)<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/pro\/eth-inr\/csx\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/coinswitch.co\/pro\/eth-inr\/csx\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1ec677\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Ethereum<\/mark><\/a>&nbsp;(ETH)<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Price (approx.

Watch the $110&nbsp;k and $4&nbsp;k levels, respectively; sustainable moves above these thresholds could signal renewed bullish momentum. Altcoins such as Solana (SOL) and XRP are also pivotal; both are hovering near major support zones and could lead a broader recovery if sentiment improves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Macro events:<\/strong> Investors should monitor upcoming US economic data and Federal Reserve commentary, as macro announcements continue to dictate risk appetite. Additionally, any updates on India\u2019s ongoing tax investigation or clarity on virtual asset regulations could influence local trading behaviour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regulatory developments:<\/strong> Beyond the Binance probe, the Financial Intelligence Unit has been blocking offshore exchanges that fail to register under anti\u2011money\u2011laundering guidelines.

Traders expect continued range\u2011bound movement unless a significant macro catalyst emerges. Short\u2011term sentiment may improve if Bitcoin reclaims the $110&nbsp;k mark and if equities stabilize. However, regulatory overhang and looming tax deadlines in India could keep trading volumes subdued.

After a sharp mid\u2011October sell\u2011off wiped out hundreds of billions of dollars in market value, prices have stabilized but sentiment remains cautious. The global crypto market capitalization sits near <strong>$3.86&nbsp;trillion<\/strong>, with 24\u2011hour trading volumes around <strong>$194&nbsp;billion<\/strong>. Bitcoin dominance is just above <strong>57&nbsp;%<\/strong>, while Ethereum commands about <strong>12.5&nbsp;%<\/strong> of the market. The <strong>crypto fear &amp;&nbsp;greed index<\/strong> is hovering in the <em>\u201cfear\u201d<\/em> zone, indicating that investors are still wary after recent volatility. On the domestic front, the rupee has remained relatively steady against the dollar, but regulatory uncertainty around India\u2019s forthcoming crypto bill and the ongoing rollout of the digital rupee continue to influence local sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Market movements and cues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Global cues:<\/strong> The recent pullback was triggered by a combination of factors: hawkish comments from the US Federal Reserve, renewed geopolitical tensions and a flood of leveraged positions being liquidated. While the market has since steadied, sentiment is fragile. Institutional interest remains high, especially around the newly launched spot crypto ETFs in the US and Europe, but traders are wary of further shocks. Macro headwinds such as elevated bond yields and slower economic growth in China could keep risk appetite subdued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Local cues:<\/strong> In India, regulators have signalled a cautious but constructive approach towards digital assets. The Reserve Bank of India continues to test the digital rupee, and any clarity on taxation or licensing could be a catalyst for domestic volumes. Indian exchanges have reported steady inflows into Bitcoin and Ethereum, and many retail investors are taking advantage of the recent dip to accumulate. However, strict know\u2011your\u2011customer (KYC) requirements and potential restrictions on self\u2011custody remain points of debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitcoin &amp;&nbsp;Ethereum price movement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a snapshot of how the two largest cryptocurrencies performed over the past 24&nbsp;hours.

Ethereum also softened amid broader market caution. The <strong>MON airdrop<\/strong> went live, rewarding more than 225,000 eligible users and fuelling interest in the broader ecosystem. Meanwhile, the <strong>fear &amp;&nbsp;greed index<\/strong> declined to 34 (Fear), suggesting risk aversion. Regulatory news had mixed effects: the U.S. Federal Reserve hinted at a potential rate cut, while Japan moved to ban insider trading in crypto. In India, <strong>Coinbase\u2019s investment in CoinDCX<\/strong> signalled confidence in domestic exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stablecoins and DeFi:<\/strong> Stablecoins held a market cap of roughly $305&nbsp;billion with modest growth, while the DeFi sector\u2019s market cap slipped 2.6%. These numbers reflect investors\u2019 preference for stability in volatile markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Top trending coins:<\/strong> MANTRA (OM) traded at about $0.1309, down slightly with $218&nbsp;million in volume. Yei&nbsp;Finance (CLO) continued its meteoric rise, gaining over 300%. Enso (ENSO) suffered a steep drop, while <strong>Zcash (ZEC)<\/strong> inched up by 1.9%. <strong>Synthetix (SNX)<\/strong> edged lower by 2.3%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outlook for Tomorrow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The crypto market\u2019s cautious tone may persist into tomorrow as traders digest macroeconomic signals and regulatory developments. Bitcoin and Ethereum could remain range\u2011bound unless fresh catalysts emerge. With the fear &amp;&nbsp;greed index entrenched in the \u201cfear\u201d zone, risk appetite may stay muted, though oversold conditions could spur short\u2011term rebounds. Altcoins will likely remain volatile; coins tied to airdrops and AI\u2011driven chains (like CLO and NOCK) may attract speculative flows, while profit\u2011taking could continue in heavily hyped tokens such as ENSO and DORA. Traders should monitor Federal Reserve commentary, ETF approval news, and any domestic policy announcements from India, which could influence market sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To know everything crypto and bitcoin prices \u2014 download India\u2019s trusted <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.coinswitch.kuber\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.coinswitch.kuber\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1ec677\" class=\"has-inline-color\">crypto app on Google Play<\/mark><\/a><\/strong> now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#1ec677;color:#1ec677\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crypto Market News &amp; Sentiment for India \u2013 14&nbsp;October&nbsp;2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On <strong>14&nbsp;October&nbsp;2025<\/strong> the cryptocurrency market continued to digest last week\u2019s sharp sell\u2011off.

In India, market sentiment was mixed \u2013 Bitcoin barely budged and remained well above the \u20b91&nbsp;crore mark, while Ether rallied as investors positioned for upcoming network upgrades. Altcoins were a tale of two markets: a handful of mid\u2011cap tokens posted triple\u2011digit gains, but many lesser\u2011known projects fell sharply.

Traders should exercise caution and focus on projects with clear fundamentals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Market movements, cues and coins to watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Global cues<\/strong> \u2013 Last week\u2019s market crash wiped out billions in value; fear and greed metrics remained in the <em>fear<\/em> zone. U.S.\u2013China trade rhetoric and discussions of higher tariffs kept investors risk\u2011averse. In the UK, policymakers floated cutting the crypto capital\u2011gains tax to <strong>10&nbsp;%<\/strong> and even urged the Bank of England to hold Bitcoin, signalling a potentially more pro\u2011crypto stance. Major token unlocks \u2013 including <strong>FTN<\/strong>, <strong>CONX<\/strong>, <strong>ARB<\/strong>, <strong>SOL<\/strong>, <strong>TRUMP<\/strong> and <strong>WLD<\/strong> \u2013 collectively worth over <strong>$446&nbsp;million<\/strong> are scheduled over the next week, which could add supply\u2011side pressure on these coins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Local cues<\/strong> \u2013 Indian investors tracked global headlines but also watched domestic regulatory developments. The rupee traded around <strong>\u20b9\u202f88.8&nbsp;per&nbsp;USD<\/strong>, meaning dollar\u2011denominated crypto prices translated into sizable rupee swings. Exchanges reported stable volumes but reduced leverage, hinting at cautious positioning. Meanwhile, community discussions focused on the <strong>Chiliz Chain<\/strong> hard fork scheduled for <strong>October&nbsp;14<\/strong> and Ethereum\u2019s <strong>Fusaka<\/strong> testnet launch, which could stimulate interest in gaming and DeFi tokens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Coins to watch<\/strong> \u2013 Besides Bitcoin and Ethereum, traders should monitor <strong>Solana&nbsp;(SOL)<\/strong>, <strong>Polkadot&nbsp;(DOT)<\/strong>, <strong>Hyperliquid&nbsp;(HYPE)<\/strong> and <strong>ChainOpera&nbsp;AI&nbsp;(COAI)<\/strong>. These tokens were among the most searched cryptocurrencies in India, according to recent trending lists, and they each have upcoming catalysts such as network upgrades or protocol launches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crypto updates and tomorrow\u2019s outlook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Across the board, the crypto market showed signs of stabilising after the previous week\u2019s slump. Blue\u2011chip coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum held key support levels, while select altcoins delivered outsized gains thanks to project\u2011specific news. Nevertheless, macro\u2011economic uncertainty and scheduled token unlocks could keep volatility elevated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead to <strong>15&nbsp;October&nbsp;2025<\/strong>, market participants will watch whether Bitcoin can reclaim the <strong>$118&nbsp;k<\/strong> region and whether Ethereum can maintain momentum above <strong>$4,200<\/strong>. The release of U.S. macro data and any fresh geopolitical headlines could provide direction. In India, continued interest in emerging projects and regulatory clarity could attract more retail participation. Traders are advised to stay nimble, manage risk carefully, and focus on tokens with strong fundamentals or upcoming catalysts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background\" style=\"background-color:#1ec677;color:#1ec677\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crypto Market News &amp; Sentiment Update &#8211; India &#8211; 13 October&nbsp;2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today&#8217;s <strong>crypto market<\/strong> in India saw buoyant trading as the global market cap rose above $3.99&nbsp;trillion, with 24\u2011hour trading volumes around $269&nbsp;billion. Bitcoin and Ethereum, which together command roughly 70&nbsp;% of market share, continued their upward march. Investor sentiment, however, remains cautious; the <strong>Crypto Fear &amp;&nbsp;Greed Index<\/strong> sits in the \u2018Fear\u2019 zone at 38 after moving up from extreme fear the previous day. This suggests that traders are still risk\u2011averse despite the recent rally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Market overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The broader market gained after a weak start to the week. US macro cues \u2013 particularly expectations that the Federal Reserve will hold rates steady and a cooling in US inflation data \u2013 provided a tailwind. On the domestic front, Indian regulators reiterated their commitment to developing a framework for crypto taxation and KYC rules, while the Reserve Bank of India said its pilot digital\u2011rupee program is progressing well. The combination of positive global signals and clarity on domestic regulation lifted risk appetite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bitcoin reclaimed the <strong>\u20b910&nbsp;million<\/strong> mark per coin (roughly $115&nbsp;k). Ethereum surged more than 8&nbsp;% over the last 24&nbsp;hours as traders rotated into smart\u2011contract platforms ahead of upcoming layer\u20112 launches. Mid\u2011cap altcoins rallied sharply, with protocols linked to decentralized finance (DeFi), artificial intelligence and gaming posting the biggest gains.

Retail participation improved as festival season bonuses spurred new investments. Meanwhile, the Indian government reiterated that its consultative paper on digital assets taxation is expected by the end of the year. This announcement provided clarity for traders worried about stricter controls. The Reserve Bank of India\u2019s ongoing central\u2011bank digital currency (CBDC) pilot also kept digital\u2011asset discussions in the spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Globally, traders were encouraged by signs that U.S. inflation is moderating, reducing the likelihood of aggressive rate hikes. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission continued to review spot\u2011Bitcoin ETF applications, with analysts expecting a decision later this quarter. Positive news on the ETF front could be a significant catalyst. In Europe, MiCA regulations entered a transitional phase, offering legal clarity for crypto businesses operating on the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key coins to watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Solana&nbsp;(SOL):<\/strong> With a 24\u2011hour gain of over 7&nbsp;%, SOL remains a key layer\u20111 to watch. The network\u2019s upcoming Firedancer upgrade aims to improve throughput dramatically.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>BNB&nbsp;(BNB):<\/strong> The exchange token climbed nearly 14&nbsp;% as Binance announced new launchpad projects. Regulatory developments involving Binance\u2019s U.S. operations could introduce volatility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sui&nbsp;(SUI) &amp;&nbsp;Aster&nbsp;(ASTER):<\/strong> Both posted double\u2011digit gains and have strong developer interest. Watch for follow\u2011through buying as their ecosystems expand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dogecoin&nbsp;(DOGE):<\/strong> The meme\u2011coin added roughly 10&nbsp;%, buoyed by social\u2011media hype. Momentum could fade quickly; traders should exercise caution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chainlink&nbsp;(LINK):<\/strong> Oracle tokens gained about 10&nbsp;% as cross\u2011chain interoperability became a hot topic. Partnerships and staking incentives could keep LINK in focus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outlook for tomorrow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With sentiment still in the fear zone yet improving, the market may experience <strong>consolidation<\/strong> ahead of key macro events. If U.S. economic data remains soft and no major regulatory shocks emerge, Bitcoin could test resistance near \u20b910.35&nbsp;million (\u2248&nbsp;$116&nbsp;k), while Ethereum might challenge \u20b9380,000 (\u2248&nbsp;$4,250). A break above those levels could trigger further upside, but traders should watch for profit\u2011taking given recent sharp gains in altcoins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Locally, any government commentary on the classification of digital assets or tax rules could sway sentiment. Liquidity is likely to thin out towards the weekend, so price swings could amplify. Overall, a cautiously optimistic tone prevails, with a focus on quality projects and layer\u20112 developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Track Bitcoin and crypto prices in INR \u2014 download India\u2019s trusted <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.coinswitch.kuber\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.coinswitch.kuber\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#1ec677\" class=\"has-inline-color\">crypto app on Google Play<\/mark><\/a><\/strong> now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto News Overview On 31\u202fOctober\u202f2025, the global cryptocurrency market cap stands at approximately US$3.69\u2009trillion, reflecting a daily drop of about 2.0\u202f%.Bitcoin (BTC) dominance has increased to roughly 59.3\u202f%, showing a subtle shift toward the leading asset.
