Bitcoin on Friday, June 16, recorded 2.20 percent in profits to trade at the price point of $25,493 (roughly Rs. 20 lakh). This is the first time this week, that Bitcoin managed to see a minor gain on both, national as well as international exchanges. The most expensive cryptocurrency, BTC, saw its price go up by $480 (roughly Rs. 39,341) in the last 24 hours. It is notable that BTC’s small recovery can be attributed to BlackRock’s iShares unit having filed for a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) with the SEC.<\/p>\n
\u201cPrevious concerns over US central bank policies and regulatory scrutiny had caused a decline in BTC value. However, the announcement from BlackRock iShares has reignited optimism for a BTC ETF despite prior rejections by the SEC,\u201d Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX told Gadgets 360.<\/p>\n
Ether<\/a>, tagging behind Bitcoin, showed a small recovery on Friday after almost four days of marking loss. ETH gained 0.43 percent to attain the trading value of $1,662 (roughly Rs. 1.3 lakh). This marks one of Ether’s lowest trading values in recent months. Over the last day, ETH did manage to rise value wise by $14 (roughly Rs. 1,147).<\/p>\n As per the crypto price tracker<\/a> by Gadgets 360, Cardano<\/a>, Litecoin<\/a>, Leo<\/a>, Cosmos<\/a>, Chainlink<\/a>, and Monero<\/a> reeled-in profits alongside BTC and ETH.<\/p>\n Interestingly, memecoins Dogecoin<\/a> and Shiba Inu<\/a>, both managed to secure small but notable gains in an otherwise slowed down market situation.<\/p>\n The overall crypto market valuation went up by 1.27 percent over the last day to sit at the mark of $1.04 trillion as of June 16, CoinMarketCap<\/a> showed.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, stablecoins Tether<\/a>, Binance USD<\/a>, and USD Coin<\/a> recorded losses.<\/p>\n Binance Coin<\/a>, Tron<\/a>, Solana<\/a>, Polygon<\/a>, and Polkadot<\/a> also incurred price drops alongside Wrapped Bitcoin<\/a>, Avalanche<\/a>, and Uniswap<\/a> among others.<\/p>\n \u201cBarring Tron, all of the top ten cryptos by market capitalization are either trading in the green or have shown no price action in the last 24 hours. Despite a short respite in the market, it still seems to be edgy,\u201d Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures told Gadgets 360.<\/p>\n The crypto fear and greed index has re-entered the neutral zone with a score of 47, recording a fresh six point jump. Developments in the crypto world are also continuing to grow despite the ongoing slump in the industry. Taxnodes, a crypto tax computational platform for instance, has secured $1.6 million (roughly Rs. 13 crore) in a seed funding round. ZebPay’s Rahul Pagidipati and WazirX’s Nischal Shetty are among the investors in Taxnodes.<\/p>\nApple unveiled its first mixed reality headset, the Apple Vision Pro, at its annual developer conference, along with new Mac models and upcoming software updates.
