Bitcoin on Monday, May 27 saw a minor gain of around one percent. At the time of writing BTC was trading at the price point of $72,034 (roughly Rs. 59.8 lakh) on Indian exchanges like WazirX. Internationally however, Bitcoin is trading at a slightly lower price point of $68,772 (roughly Rs. 57 lakh). As per Market analysts, BTC displayed a neutral performance on the price chart after the US approved ETFs for Ether last week on May 24.

Ether outperformed Bitcoin in terms of profit-making over the weekend. The second most precious cryptocurrency after BTC, ETH is presently trading at $3,911 (roughly Rs. 3.24 lakh) on foreign exchanges after seeing a price hike of 2.54 percent. On Indian exchanges, meanwhile, ETH is hovering over the price point of 4,128 (roughly Rs. 3.42 lakh).

“ETH has posted its highest weekly return, mainly due to the ETH ETF approval. Many expected a sell-off after the approval news, but ETH remained stable, which is a positive sign. The ETH ETF approval is bullish for ETH in the long term. To signal a strong upswing, ETH needs to clear the key level of $4,000 (roughly Rs. 3 lakh).
