The Indian Crypto Market

Increased interest from risk and retail investors transformed 2021 into a crypto year in India, a somewhat global situation. Nevertheless, the massive industry success attracted regulators’ actions. The government had planned to table the crypto bill during the winter sessions, but it ended without a crypto word from the authorities. Market participants are watching the upcoming developments as the Budget session nears.

The sector has grown in venture capital inflow, eagerness to police the blossoming market, and investors’ awareness. India recorded blockchain investments and cryptocurrency funding worth $638 million with 48 rounds in the past year (Tracxn data). Keep in mind that global blockchain and crypto investments stand at $24.86 billion (930 funding rounds).

Expert’s Outlook

OpenSea saw a 2-month peak in daily sales volume yesterday. Non-fungible token (NFT) collections such as deadfellas and MAYC recorded more than 300% surge this week, and Its blockchain founder Hitesh Malviya trusts they’ll continue dominating the market. With that, NFTs projects might expect a bullish run in the coming sessions.

Nevertheless, cryptocurrency analysts predict bullishness in the crypto space this year. Bitcoin requires a decisive move past $50,000 and $53,000 hurdles for stable surges. For now, most assets in the crypto space remain without significant directional bias.
