Industry experts are relieved that BTC's exponential gains have pushed away the fear and greed index that had been impacting the market negatively.

“On a longer-run perspective, crypto continues to see strong interest by individuals and institutions globally, with the number of public crypto funds surging up to 119 as of Jan 2022 — there were just 4 such funds five years ago,” the research team at Indian exchange CoinDCX told Gadgets 360.

Meanwhile, more nations are joining the list of those putting crypto regulations in place.

Le Minh Khai, the deputy prime minister of Vietnam has directed the country's finance ministry to draft regulatory laws for the digital assets sector.

India, Australia, Dubai, and Brazil have already taken their respective first steps towards making the crypto sector adhere to their respective laws.

As per CoinMarketCap, the current market cap of the crypto sector stands at $2.14 trillion (roughly Rs. 1,62,77,490 crore).
