The cryptocurrency market remains highly volatile due to ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical developments. On Friday, March 7, Bitcoin recorded a loss of over five percent on international exchanges, bringing its price down to $87,726 (roughly Rs. 76.4 lakh), according to CoinMarketCap. A similar trend was observed on Indian exchanges, where platforms like CoinDCX, Giottus, and CoinSwitch reported a five percent decline, with Bitcoin trading around $90,575 (roughly Rs. 79 lakh).

“In one of the historical moments yesterday, President Donald Trump has signed the executive orders to establish what people are calling a “Digital Fort Knox” which directs its administration to hold the seized assets from criminal and civil proceedings. The market reaction to this news was a bit negative as people were expecting the US to deploy fresh capital to Bitcoin,” the CoinSwitch Market Desk told Gadgets 360.

Ether also succumbed to the market pressure and continued to trade in losses throughout the week. On Friday, Ether price dropped by six percent to trade at $2,168 (roughly Rs. 1.90 lakh) on international exchanges. On Indian platforms, Ether price dipped by 5.75 percent to trade at $2,295 (roughly Rs. 2 lakh).
