US were offered and sold as securities, a move that could have wide implications for other exchanges that offer these tokens. Solana fell as much as 13%, while Cardano dropped 8%, Polygon slipped 6% and Filecoin slumped 10%.Bitcoin fell as much as 6.5% to $25,491, the least since April, as of 12:50 p.m. in New York.

cryptocurrency markets were majorly trading lower in Thursday's trade amid concerns over the US debt ceiling. Bitcoin (BTC) declined 1.40% to $26,790, whereas Ethereum (ETH) was just above the $1,850 level. BTC volume stood at approximately $15.19 billion, falling 2.45% in the last 24 hours. «Bitcoin was under some selling pressure as the debt ceiling bill goes to the Senate for voting while rapidly changing economic conditions are pushing the investors away from riskier assets.

The total volume in DeFi is currently at $2.57 billion, 8.06% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume.

Bitcoin climbed to the highest level in more than two weeks amid a boost to investor sentiment from a deal on raising the US debt limit. The largest digital token added as much 3.2% on Monday and was trading at $28,182 as of 9:32 a.m. in Singapore, oscillating around its 50-day moving average. Smaller tokens ranging from Ether to Binance Coin also posted gains. The debt-ceiling deal between President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has helped risk appetite in global markets. But the agreement still has to clear Congress quickly to avert a US default. A recent jump in Treasury yields and bets on more US monetary tightening are other potential headwinds. “This morning’s positive risk sentiment directly relates to the resolution of the debt-ceiling impasse,” said John Toro, head of trading at digital-asset exchange Independent Reserve. “Front-end funding costs remain highly elevated relative to crypto returns, resulting in negative carry for long holders. This will continue to prove a headwind for risk assets and the crypto complex.”

BTC volume in the last 24 hours stood at approximately $22.95 billion, falling 35.61% in the last 24 hours. «BTC is trading in the $29.5k range, up ~2% in the last 24 hours as unrest in the banking sector resurfaces and US’ economic growth slowdown,» Parth Chaturvedi, Crypto Ecosystem Lead at CoinSwitch, said.

BTC's current support level is situated around US$27,100, while its resistance level is at US$27,650. If the price drops below the support level, it could potentially plummet towards the US$26,500 level,» Edul Patel, Co-founder and CEO at Mudrex, said.Parth Chaturvedi, Crypto Ecosystem Lead at CoinSwitch, said, «ETH is down around 1.9% and is trading in the $1.8k range for the last 24 hours. However, last week's Ethereum Shanghai upgrade saw a remarkable influx of 571,950 ETH deposits, worth over $1 billion, for staking. This has been the largest weekly token inflow for ETH ever.

Dipping ~2% in the last 24 hours, BTC is trading in the $29.5k zone. Post the Shapella upgrade, ETH continues to trade above the $2k mark,» Parth Chaturvedi, Crypto Ecosystem Lead at CoinSwitch, said.

The power-hungry companies that pump new bitcoin into circulation have been thrown a lifeline by the cryptocurrency's rally to above $30,000 this year, which has conspired with falling electricity prices to boost their profitability. The 30-day average of mining revenues has risen to $27.34 million a day, the highest level since last June, according to data from Blockchain.com. That's a relief for miners that struggled to service large debt burdens as revenues languished between $15 million and $21 million for most of the second half of 2022. They're still some way off a peak of $61.2 million hit in November 2021, though.

«Most cryptocurrencies rose slightly in the past 24 hours after mildly encouraging inflation data on one side and Ethereum Shanghai upgrades on the other. Bitcoin was seen trading above the US$30,000 level, with its resistance set at US$30,500. This shows that the bulls currently have the upper hand in the market.

Meanwhile, Polkadot, Litecoin, Dogecoin and Cardano also traded with gains. The global cryptocurrency market cap was trading higher around $1.23 trillion, rising 1.09% in the last 24 hours. The market cap of Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, was around $582 billion. Bitcoin’s dominance is currently 47.25%, a decrease of 0.25% over the day, according to CoinMarketCap.

bitcoin has been a surprise winner of the banking blowout. Yet investors aiming to amp up their bets face an ominous obstacle: a lack of liquidity that could trigger wild price swings. The price of the No.1 cryptocurrency has jumped 40% to around $27,700 since March 10, when the failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) careered into mainstream markets. On the flip side, though, its liquidity is drying up. Bitcoin's market depth indicates the asset is at its lowest level of liquidity in 10 months, even lower than in the aftermath of the FTX collapse in November, according to data provider Kaiko. The market depth for the two leading trading pairs — bitcoin-dollar and bitcoin-tether — stands at 5,600 bitcoin, the equivalent of about $155 million, Kaiko said.

cryptocurrency markets were trading higher in Wednesday's trade. Bitcoin (BTC) rose 1.67% to $28,234, whereas Ethereum (ETH) was above the $1,800 level. BTC volume in the last 24 hours stood at approximately $34.56 billion, falling 16.49%. «Bitcoin is trading above $28,000 ahead of the crucial Fed meeting amidst the ongoing banking crisis in the US. If the Fed decides to hike the interest rate, there may not be a knee-jerk reaction from the markets, as investors are anticipating a rate hike of 25 basis points. In case of no rate hike by the Fed, we can expect the upward trend to continue in the coming weeks,» Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said. Other top crypto tokens were also trading higher. XRP zoomed over 20%. Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Cardano and BNB were also trading with gains. The global cryptocurrency market cap was trading higher around $1.18 trillion, rising 2.43% in the last 24 hours.

The volume of all stablecoins is now $60.33 billion, which is 91.16% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume.

Bitcoin reaching levels not seen in about nine months. The largest digital asset topped $28,000 for the first time since June 2022, trading for as much as $28,258 on Sunday. Since the start of the year, Bitcoin’s price has risen almost 70%. Other digital assets rallied as well — with Ethereum up about 17% since the start of last week and so-called altcoins like Solana and Cardano advancing, too. Traders waded high levels of uncertainty last week in markets. US two-year yields fluctuated wildly, and the Cboe Volatility Index, the so-called fear gauge also known as the VIX, spiked above 30. But Bitcoin kept steadfast — and straight up. “Bitcoin is correlated with liquidity conditions and real rates. Real rates have declined, liquidity conditions have expanded, and it looks as if we’re entering a new regime,” said Ilan Solot, co-head of digital assets at Marex.

Bitcoin, the largest token, rose as much as 4.9% and was trading at about $25,610 as of 10:45 a.m. in Singapore on Friday.

Bitcoin has climbed about 55% so far this year and is in touching distance of the highest level since June 2022. But the token remains a long way off its record of almost $69,000 from November 2021.

BTC volume stood at approximately $35.99 billion, rising 65.73% in the last 24 hours. «The crypto market is feeling the heat from the collapse of pro-crypto Silvergate bank coupled with the hawkish stance taken by the US central bank. The contagion fears from the Silvergate fiasco are keeping the investors on their toes and the crypto community will closely watch the regulatory recourse around the same,» Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said. Other top crypto tokens were also trading lower. Tron declined by over 12%. Litecoin, Shiba Inu, Solana and Dogecoin were also trading with losses. The global cryptocurrency market cap was trading lower around $934.23 billion, falling 6.29% in the last 24 hours.

The global cryptocurrency market cap was trading lower around 996.91 billion, falling 0.93% in the last 24 hours. «The crypto market cap slipped below the $1 trillion mark as the US central bank sent strong signals about tackling inflation through strict monetary policies and rate hikes.

Furthermore, the fallout of Silvergate has also played a role in the decline. Bitcoin is at its lowest point in about two weeks and is trading below $23,000 at $22,300,» Edul Patel, Co-founder and CEO at Mudrex, said. Other top tokens were also trading lower on Friday.
