Bitcoin, which entered the last week of April with lower prices, managed to recover after four days of losses. On Friday, April 28, the cryptocurrency gained 1.22 percent to trade at $29,410 (roughly Rs. 24 lakh) on both national and international exchanges. This is the closest Bitcoin has come this week to the $30,000 (approximately Rs. 24.5 lakh) mark. In the last 24 hours, the most expensive cryptocurrency increased in value by $452 (roughly Rs. 36,960).

On Friday, the price of ether fell by 0.03 percent. According to Gadgets 360’s crypto price tracker, the value of the second-most expensive cryptocurrency was $1,905 (roughly Rs. 1.55 lakh) at the time of writing.

The FOMC interest rate decision that will be announced next week is currently the focus of investors and traders. Due to worries about the stability of the banking system, Bitcoin has been able to maintain its position. Its immediate support is $29,250 (roughly Rs. 23.9 lakh) and its immediate resistance is $29,800 (roughly Rs. 24.3 lakh), according to Edul Patel, CEO of the Mudrex cryptocurrency investment platform.

Industry insiders are optimistic that the future will be more Web3-friendly, which will make investing in the cryptocurrency sector safer and more stable.

“Google Cloud and Polygon Labs have teamed up to make it easier to build, release, and scale Web3 products and decentralised applications (dapps) on the layer 2 blockchain powered by Ethereum. The massive investment firm Franklin Templeton simultaneously disclosed that its FOBXX fund is now accessible on Ethereum via the layer 2 blockchain Polygon. The company has made it clear that it appreciates the advantages of blockchain technology. Investors are also anticipating the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting that will take place the following week.

In light of recession concerns, the general expectation is for the Fed to raise interest rates one more time, Parth Chaturvedi, Crypto Ecosystem Lead, CoinSwitch told Gadgets 360.

More changes are occurring that are related to the blockchain sector. In an interview with Gadgets 360, Indian exchange CoinDCX noted that more traditional financial firms are incorporating blockchain technology into their products, indicating institutional adoption is becoming more widespread.

“Franklin Templeton, which manages $1.4 trillion in assets (roughly Rs. 1,14,44,650 crore), announced on Wednesday that its OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund is now supported on the Polygon network, giving investors access to the Ethereum blockchain,” CoinDCX said. According to the company, incorporating blockchain technology into its system would result in operational efficiencies such as increased security, faster transaction processing, and lower costs.”
