The inflation data shared by the US this week showed that the market situation is improving, and the information is impacting the crypto market. Bitcoin on Friday, July 14, minted a profit of 3.87 percent to trade at the price point of $31,458 (roughly Rs. 25,7 lakh). This is the first time in days that Bitcoin has managed to mint profits of over one percent. In the last 24 hours, the value of BTC rose substantially by $1,130 (roughly Rs. 92,619).

Ether also tailed along with Bitcoin to see profits, even bigger than Bitcoin. With a gain of 7.57 percent, the value of ETH stood at $2,007 (roughly Rs. 1.64 lakh) at the time of writing. This is the first time in two months that ETH has been able to cross the $2,000 (roughly Rs. 1.63 lakh) mark.

Most other cryptocurrencies rallied behind Bitcoin and Ether on the profit-making side of the crypto price chart.

These include Binance Coin, Ripple, Cardano, Dogecoin, and Polygon.

In addition, Litecoin, Tron, Polkadot, Avalanche, and Shiba Inu also minted profits.

"These market gains have been triggered by a US court ruling which is partially in favour of Ripple. The court has stated that the trading of XRP (+61.9%) amongst retail investors can't be dubbed as a 'securities' sale. The SEC continues to hold its stance against the ruling and will likely re-appeal, but overall this has set a strong precedence for the sector and has resulted in a massive rally in prices," Parth Chaturvedi, Investments Lead, CoinSwitch Ventures told Gadgets 360.

Only a small number of cryptocurrencies recorded losses on Friday. These include USD Coin, Bitcoin Cash, Binance USD, LEO, and Qtum.
