"The US is defining a new financial strategy through the proposed Bitcoin Act of 2024 and plans to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve of 1,000,000 Bitcoins within five years. The acquisition of up to 200,000 Bitcoins every year will ensure that BTC becomes a part of the traditional stores of value — more resilient, resistant to inflation, and unaffected by tradition,” Avinash Shekhar, Co-Founder and CEO, Pi42 told Gadgets360.

Ether also rose in value alongside Bitcoin on Monday. The second most valued cryptocurrency after Bitcoin, ETH is presently priced at $3,115 (roughly Rs. 2.62 lakh) on global exchanges.

“ETH spiked as high as $3,500 (roughly Rs. 2.95 lakh) but later retraced to $3,100 (roughly Rs. 2.61 lakh), showing the ever-volatile market. It is notable that Ethereum ETFs had their best week, at $533.9 million (roughly Rs. 4,505 crore) in inflows despite minor outflows on Thursday and Friday,” Shekhar added.

As shown by the crypto price tracker on Gadgets360, Solana, Binance Coin, Ripple, and Dogecoin also increased in value, as did Cardano, Tron, Polkadot, Stellar, and Monero.
