The businessman took the opportunity to lambast the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States for its ongoing refusal to approve such items. He claimed that this hesitation has proven to be harmful to American investors.

Notably, the DeFi sector contributed $2.94 billion, accounting for 7.78% of the overall market volume,» Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said. «Adding to the excitement, Bitcoin surpassed the $31,000 mark, driven by the euphoria surrounding the application for a Bitcoin ETF. This achievement further fuels optimism and interest in the cryptocurrency market,» he added.

investors have adopted a cautious «wait and watch» stance as they anticipate the recovery of their beleaguered portfolios, created during crypto's most significant bull run in 2021, even as the crypto market shows signs of revival in the first half of 2023, driven predominantly by a resurgent Bitcoin. Bitcoin has jumped more than 80% in 2023, and the overall crypto market is now touching $1.19 trillion. «Most Indian crypto investors bought digital assets when the market was on a tear, and when in 2022 the market corrected sharply, their portfolios shrank substantially. Now they are just waiting to recover their initial investments. The 30% crypto tax has really dampened the enthusiasm of Indian crypto investors, further adding to their apprehension regarding the recovery prospects of their portfolios,» said Vishal Gupta, a Noida-based crypto investor.
