The digital assets sector appears poised for a rebound with several cryptocurrencies recording profits days after hitting a small slump. On Wednesday, Bitcoin rose by 3.53 percent, trading at $28,350 (roughly Rs. 23 lakh). The most expensive cryptocurrency managed to maintain similar pricing on both, national as well as international exchanges. Over the past 24 hours, the value of Bitcoin rose by $1,008 (roughly Rs. 82,630), while Ethereum and most other cryptocurrencies also saw their prices rise.

Ether saw a 2.48 percent increase in value on Wednesday. The price pf ETH hovered around $1,863 (roughly Rs. 1.5 lakh), according to the crypto price chart by Gadgets 360.

“Bitcoin climbed past $28,000 (roughly Rs. 23 lakh) buoyed by investors' favourable response to the moderately positive Q1 earnings reports from Alphabet and Microsoft. Additionally, the upswing may also be due to the worries about banking stability triggered by First Republic Bank's revelation of a $100 billion (roughly Rs. 8,19,648 crore) deposit loss during its Q1 earnings presentation on Monday,” Edul Patel, Co-founder and CEO at Mudrex told Gadgets 360.
