“Bitcoin starts the week above $29,000 (roughly Rs. 24 lakh), with a surge in new addresses suggesting rising on-chain demand. The recent non-farm payroll report had minimal impact on its price, but the upcoming July CPI reports from the US and China could bring changes. Ethereum continues to trade within the $1,800 (roughly Rs. 1.3 lakh) to $1,850 (roughly Rs. 1.4 lakh) range,” Edul Patel, Co-Founder and CEO, Mudrex crypto exchange, told Gadgets 360.
Among other cryptocurrencies trading in profits, USD Coin, Solana, Polygon, and Polkadot marked their names.
Wrapped Bitcoin, Avalanche, Stellar, Cosmos, and Cronos also recorded minor gains.
“Shiba Inu (SHIB) surged by more than 20 percent over the weekend. The rally was sparked by news that Binance would be adding SHIB as collateral for flexible loans. SHIB is also benefiting from optimism over the launch of the Shibarium blockchain, which is expected to reduce transaction fees and improve the scalability of the SHIB ecosystem,” The CoinDCX research team told Gadgets 360.

“The crypto market has been range-bound over the weekend. The market seems to be waiting for new signals which will determine future price action. On the macro front, inflation data (CPI) for July is slated to come out this week on Thursday (August 10).
