China’s central bank warned companies on Tuesday against assisting cryptocurrency-related businesses as it shut down a software firm over suspected involvement in digital currency transactions.
Bitcoin has fluctuated the previous day after China’s central bank and a regulator in the capital city took action against a company that was allegedly providing cryptocurrency-related services. However, the numero uno digital token made a swift recovery.
“The past 24 hours witnessed a steady rally across several altcoins. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, Ethereum, shot up more than 4 per cent after facing severe selling pressure earlier in the day. Polkadot shot up more than 7 per cent,” Edul Patel, CEO and Co-founder of Mudrex.
“The situation was a bit different for Bitcoin, which continued to remain under steady selling pressure throughout the day. The momentum in the markets is not bullish at the moment. However, the higher traded volumes indicated that we might shortly witness the markets moving out of the consolidation phase.”
Indian banks and cryptocurrency exchanges continue their love-hate relationship. Crypto exchange Zebpay has found an innovative way to draw investors. It has decided to pay interest on cryptos that investors keep in their wallets.
