What’s cooking in India?
Cryptocurrency exchanges are set to see consolidation amidst concerns and confusion over government attempts to regulate crypto assets. Some exchanges have begun exploratory talks with other Indian exchanges and foreign players, multiple people involved in discussions have told ET.

Expert’s Take
Following the US Federal Reserve’s cut back on its coronavirus pandemic stimulus in response to the rising inflation, the price of Bitcoin has surged in the past 24 hours, said CoinDCX Research Team.

With the view that Bitcoin and other digital assets can hedge against any potential debasement of the greenback, investors have turned to crypto amidst the uncertainty.

“Other cryptocurrencies also responded favorably with the recent development. As the US inflation rate rises to a near 40 year high, and coupled with the withdrawal of the stimulus, there may be greater headwinds for the crypto market,” it added.

Global updates
Emerging economies should regulate cryptocurrencies instead of banning them, International Monetary Fund (IMF) chief economist Gita Gopinath said. She called for an urgent global policy on the issue.

Prices of cryptocurrencies listed on Coinbase Global Inc. and popular data provider CoinMarketCap.com briefly went haywire Tuesday, with many tokens showing astronomical gains that sent users gushing about huge windfalls and others wondering what happened.

NFT Update
NFT-based tokens are going through correction as the whole crypto market is going through a sell-off. Investors should keep an eye on further price action development before jumping into any NFT based cryptocurrencies at this stage, said Hitesh Malviya, Founder, Itsblockchain.
