Crypto Price Today: Bitcoin, Ether See Small Losses as Market Continues to Be Volatile

The crypto market is experiencing heightened volatility amid the upcoming US elections and broader macroeconomic factors. On Friday, October 25, Bitcoin saw a slight decline of 0.40 percent, bringing its global trading value to $67,767 (roughly Rs. 56.9 lakh), according to CoinMarketCap. However, in India, Bitcoin's value remained stable, trading at $69,022 (roughly Rs. 58 lakh) on platforms like CoinSwitch and CoinDCX, with gains of just under one percent.

“The upcoming weekly close of BTC on Sunday can prove to be a pivotal one as a closing above $68,000 (roughly Rs. 57 lakh) could mean a clear breakout of the bull flag Bitcoin has been consolidating in for since March, 2024. With US ETFs recording a $2.1 billion (roughly Rs. 17,655 crore) of inflows in the last five days, the highest ever so far, the total holding of all of the exchange traded funds could soon cross one million Bitcoin tokens,” the CoinSwitch markets desk told Gadgets360, commenting on the asset's trajectory.

Ether saw a 1.20 percent drop in value over the past day. At the time of writing, ETH was trading at $2,569 (roughly Rs. 2.16 lakh) on Indian exchanges, showed the crypto price tracker by Gadgets360. Internationally, ETH incurred a loss of 1.11 percent to trade at $2,489 (roughly Rs. 2.09 lakh).

Solana, USD Coin, Ripple, Dogecoin, Cardano, Avalanche, and Shiba Inu saw losses on Friday alongside BTC and ETH.
