Bitcoin on Wednesday, August 14 reflected a price gain of 3.15 percent on international exchanges. With this, the value of BTC on international exchanges has come to the price point of $61,060 (roughly Rs. 51 lakh). On Indian exchanges like CoinSwitch, BTC is trading at around $64,576 (roughly Rs. 54 lakh). As per market commentators, this price hike for BTC is fuelled by favourable political developments and increasing institutional interest. In the backdrop of BTC's rally, majority cryptocurrencies registered gains on Wednesday.

“Bitcoin's dominance has climbed to 56.29 percent, reflecting a 0.35 percent increase from yesterday, showcasing its continued strength in the market,” Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin told Gadgets360. “The approval of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and a notable increase in stablecoin volumes drive this trend. The ongoing institutional adoption and regulatory clarity will likely bolster investor confidence and drive further growth.”

Ether saw a small loss of two percent in the last 24 hours. With this, the price of ETH has come to $2,452 (roughly Rs. 2.05 lakh). Analysts call this minor price decline negligible in a broader picture for ETH's price trajectory.

Binance Coin, Ripple, Dogecoin, Cardano, Tron, Avalanche, and Shiba Inu -- all recorded gains.

Chainlink, Leo, Near Protocol, Polygon, and Stellar also clocked profits.
