Cryptocurrency Update: The prices of Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and other major cryptocurrencies fell on Wednesday, November 25 as multiple factors came into play. Bitcoin price dropped to its lowest in a month on the day, while Shiba Inu declined by more than 10 per cent over the last 24 hours. End of year profit-booking, increasing selling pressure and the Indian government’s decision to introduce ‘Cryptocurrency and Regulation of Official Digital Currency’ Bill during the upcoming Parliament session put pressure on the cryptocurrency ecosystem on the day. Bitcoin price fell to as low as 55,460.96 on Wednesday, and stood at $56,556.06 at the time of writing this article. This was down by 0.91 per cent over the last 24 hours, data from CoinMarketCap showed.
In the upcoming winter session of the Parliament, a Bill is set to be introduced, banning all private cryptocurrencies in India, with a few expectations to promote blockchain technology. “The Bill also seeks to prohibit all private cryptocurrencies in India, however, it allows for certain exceptions to promote the underlying technology of cryptocurrency and its uses,” the bulletin listing the legislative business posted on Lok Sabha’s website said.
The news has created a ripple effect in the crypto industry with investors rushing to withdraw their investments. Experts, however, are urging investors not to take a decision out of panic.
“The crypto industry is hopeful that the government will involve the industry stakeholders while drafting the bill. At CoinSwitch Kuber, we shall follow the directions provided by the government. As of now, I urge all crypto asset investors in the country to remain calm, do their own research before arriving at a rushed conclusion. Investors should wait for a government statement on this matter and not rely on secondary sources of information,” said Ashish Singhal, founder and CEO of CoinSwitch Kuber.
Some experts have also welcomed the move, like Edul Patel, who is the founder and CEO of Mudrex. “The Indian crypto ecosystem has just started to grow at a rapid pace. Regularising the crypto ecosystem would essentially allow a lot more companies to start operations in India. That will add to a massive amount of employment opportunities for young graduates. The government’s decision to regularise would be a massive boost to the ecosystem,” he said regarding the crypto future in India.
