In recent weeks cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum and others have suffered what was described as a dip. And recently, we received reports that India's central bank is positioning itself to ban dealings with virtual currency in the cryptocurrency exchange markets. This directive was tipped to have a ripple effect on cryptocurrency exchange activities. But this hasn't been the case.
As at the time of this report, the cryptocurrency markets have held their own fairly this week. Bitcoin stayed clear of any trouble by not venturing far off from $7,000, despite reports that India's central bank will discontinue any dealings with crypto-related businesses in the country. Besides India makes up 10% of the global crypto exchange trades. But this didn't shake Bitcoin and others.
