After facing plenty of setbacks in 2022, Bitcoin on Thursday surged to its highest price in nearly a month.&nbsp;
According to reports, this spike came on the back of expectations that inflation is cooling and the Federal Reserve will slow the pace of interest-rate hikes.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The second most popular token, ethereum also gained about 5% to $1,401. Meanwhile, dogecoin was also trading over 5% higher at $0.08.&nbsp;
The surge in crypto prices also comes after failed Crypto exchange FTX managed to recover more than $5 billion in different assets.
Bitcoin is down about 74% from its November 2021 all-time high of $68,990.
Overall, the global cryptocurrency market cap today remained below the $1 trillion mark, even as it was up over 4% in the last 24 hours to $926 billion, as per the data by CoinGecko.&nbsp;

Budget 2023: Crypto industry expectations from FM Nirmala Sitharaman

The industry hopes that the government would allow crypto investors to offset and carry forward their losses to create a level-playing field for virtual digital assets (VDAs) in India

Crypto trading volumes in India took a big hit, crashing as much as 90% after the introduction of 30% crypto tax in the last budget. In this scenario, the industry has listed a slew of expectations from the union budget.&nbsp;
The crypto industry is hoping that FM Sitharaman announces a proper regulatory framework for homegrown crypto exchanges. Also on the wishlist is more clarity on the impending Crypto Bill, as well as some relief on crypto taxation (which stands at 30 per cent currently).&nbsp; Tarusha Mittal, Co-founder and COO, UniFarm and Dapps, says, &ldquo;the government should frame strong regulations for the sector in light of the FTX crisis [which wiped out billions of dollars in global investor money] especially for centralized bodies dealing with crypto.&rdquo;
The sector also hopes that the government would allow crypto investors to offset and carry forward their losses to create a level-playing field for virtual digital assets (VDAs) in India. Crypto bosses further expect the TDS exemption limit to be raised &ldquo;to a reasonable level&rdquo;.

Crypto tax impact: Crypto trade in India takes big hit

Crypto exchange trade in India down by ₹32k cr since...

In Budget 2022, the govt announced a 30% tax on income from digital virtual assets or crypto. Since then, cryptos worth 32,000 crore has been moved from Indian to foreign crypto exchanges.

It has been over a year since the Indian government announced a 30 per cent tax on the income from crypto assets and one per cent tax deduction, but the real repercussions are being seen now.
According to reports, cumulative trade volume worth Rs 32,000 crore has shifted from Indian crypto exchanges to foreign ones between February to October.&nbsp;
In February and March 2022, domestic centralised crypto exchanges lost 15 per cent of their total trading volumes. Between April and June, they lost another 14 per cent, and 81 per cent of all trading volume was lost between July and October.&nbsp;
Apart from India, the crypto market saw a massive sell-off in 2022. The total market cap has fallen from over $2 trillion at the end of 2021 to $819 billion. Several exchanges, including FTX, have filed for bankruptcy. The price of Bitcoin, the largest crypto token by market cap, has fallen over 70 per cent since its peak in November 2021.&nbsp;

Bankman-Fried pleaded not guilty to all eight counts against him -- five of which carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison each

FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried pleaded not guilty Tuesday to US criminal fraud charges over the spectacular collapse of his crypto exchange.
The 30-year-old former digital currency billionaire, who is out on bail, entered the plea in federal court in Manhattan before New York judge Lewis Kaplan.
FTX and its sister trading house Alameda Research went bankrupt in November, dissolving a virtual trading business that at one point had been valued by the market at $32 billion.
The United States has charged Bankman-Fried with conspiracy, wire fraud, money laundering and election finance violations.

Trump launches new NFT digital trading card collection

The Trump Digital Trading Cards feature images of the president in a style similar to collectible baseball cards

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has become the latest celebrity to jump on the NFT bandwagon with the release of his own NFT collection dubbed the Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection.
Trump revealed the new collection via a post on his social media platform Truth social, saying the limited edition cards feature &ldquo;amazing ART&rdquo; from the former reality TV star&rsquo;s life and career. At a going price of $99 per card, Trump urged his followers to hop on the opportunity while it lasts.
The pop-up promotes a guaranteed ticket to a gala dinner with Trump for purchasing 45 NFTs at once. This would cost a customer $4455.
While this is President Trump's first official NFT project, the former First Lady, Melania Trump, launched her debut NFT collection "Cobalt Blue Eyes" almost exactly a year ago. &nbsp;

On November 11, Bankman-Fried resigned as FTX filed for bankruptcy protection

Former FTX Chief Executive Sam Bankman-Fried apologized Wednesday for a "lot of mistakes" in the abrupt collapse of the cryptocurrency firm and said he did not knowingly behave fraudulently.
"I didn't ever try to commit fraud on anyone," Bankman-Fried told the Dealbook conference hosted by CNBC and The New York Times.
"I'm deeply sorry about what happened," Bankman-Fried said. "Clearly I made a lot of mistakes or things I would be able to give anything to be able to do over again."
On November 11, Bankman-Fried resigned as FTX filed for bankruptcy protection while facing a large financing shortfall and a deluge of withdrawals from panicked customers. The firm at its peak had been worth some $32 billion.
At the time, FTX had taken some $10 billion in customer funds without authorization, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The new SEC lawsuit, which is suing Binance, Binance.US and CZ on thirteen charges, accuses the exchange of offering unregistered securities to the general public, naming the BNB and BUSD tokens

Cryptos prices crash after US regulators charge Binance with violating securities laws

The new SEC lawsuit, which is suing Binance, Binance.US and CZ on thirteen charges, accuses the exchange of offering unregistered securities to the general public, naming the&nbsp;BNB&nbsp;and BUSD tokens

Cryptocurrency markets experienced a big intraday drop, a day after US authorities charged cryptocurrency giant Binance with securities law violations and lying to regulators as per a Bloomberg report.&nbsp; Bitcoin fell over 6% and was trading around the $25,800 mark. This after having just hit its lowest levels since March under $25,500. Meanwhile, Ethereum, fell around 4%.&nbsp;
According to Bloomberg, Binance Coin, the native token of the ecosystem of the world&rsquo;s biggest digital asset exchange, fell as much as 13%. Bitcoin accounts for almost 50% of the value of the $1.2 trillion crypto market, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Binance Coin is the fourth-largest token, with a market value of around $43 billion. Binance handles around 50% of all crypto trading volume. Binance violating securities Binance allegedly permitted US residents to trade, even though the platform is not registered in the United States as a securities exchange. The case also alleges Binance misused customer funds.
The Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil complaint listing 13 charges involving platforms and other investment entities controlled by founder Changpeng Zhao, who was once seen as the archrival of disgraced crypto tycoon Sam Bankman-Fried.
The SEC case comes on the heels of charges in March by another US regulator, the Commodities Futures and Exchange Commission.
Zhao and Binance publicly claimed that US customers were barred from transacting on Binance.com, but the platform "secretly" allowed high-value customers to keep trading, the SEC said.

The value of the global cryptocurrency market, boosted by keen demand from small investors during Covid lockdowns, hit a peak of about $3.0 trillion in late 2021, but then fell off a cliff and currently stands at just over $1.1 trillion

Cryptocurrency regulations: UK lawmakers want it should be regulated like gambling

The value of the global cryptocurrency market, boosted by keen demand from small investors during Covid lockdowns, hit a peak of about $3.0 trillion in late 2021, but then fell off a cliff and currently stands at just over $1.1 trillion

Cryptocurrency investments should be regulated like the gambling industry, UK lawmakers said Wednesday.
The plea, from parliament's powerful cross-party Treasury Committee, came one day after EU ministers agreed on tougher tax rules for crypto transactions.
Global authorities are increasingly anxious of the lack of oversight of the sector, whose most popular units are bitcoin and ether.
"Unbacked cryptoassets have no intrinsic value, and their price volatility exposes consumers to the potential for substantial gains or losses, while serving no useful social purpose," the Treasury Committee said in a report.
"These characteristics more closely resemble gambling than a financial service, an impression reinforced by the evidence we have received of consumer behaviour."
It continued: "We therefore strongly recommend that the government regulates retail trading and investment activity in unbacked cryptoassets as gambling rather than as a financial service."
The value of the global cryptocurrency market, boosted by keen demand from small investors during Covid lockdowns, hit a peak of about $3.0 trillion in late 2021, but then fell off a cliff and currently stands at just over $1.1 trillion.
The industry, which craves acceptance by traditional finance, has been rocked by a series of scandals.
That includes the high-profile collapse of cryptocurrency Terra in mid-2022 and the failure of exchange FTX later that year.
The Treasury Committee expressed caution Wednesday over risks posed by "poorly run businesses" in the sector, as well as the increasing use of crypto by fraudsters and other criminals.
Britain's Conservative government, led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, is looking to establish a regulatory framework for crypto as it seeks to avoid falling behind the EU and United States.
"It is not the government's role to promote particular technological innovations for their own sake," the committee report added Wednesday.
It also criticised Britain's aborted project to sell non-fungible tokens (NFTs), or digital tokens based on crypto technology. Sunak unveiled the initiative as finance minister in April 2022.
The committee however praised UK proposals for greater regulation of professional crypto investors.
It added cryptocurrencies could potentially be used "to improve efficiency and reduce the cost of making payments".
The European Union meanwhile took more steps this week to protect investors.
EU finance ministers agreed Tuesday on rules to go after individuals who stash their cash where tax authorities have no oversight.
The 27-member bloc's parliament last month approved the world's first comprehensive rules covering crypto assets.

Bitcoin has climbed over $30,000 level for the first time since June 2022. It has gained about 6% since the start of the month

Bitcoin value rises over $30,000 for first time since June

Bitcoin has climbed over $30,000 level for the first time since June 2022. It has gained about 6% since the start of the month

Bitcoin has climbed over the key $30,000 level for the first time since June 2022, rallying more than 80% since the start of the year. This comes, as the investors expect the U.S. Federal reserve to soon end its monetary tightening policy.
As per Bloomberg, the rebound is even more intense than a nearly 20% gain on the Nasdaq 100 &mdash; with which Bitcoin has tended to move in tandem &mdash; and retraces some of the digital token&rsquo;s losses from 2022 following a series of crypto-related blowups. Still, Bitcoin is down more than 50% from its all-time high in November 2021.
The token has risen as much as 2% to $30,262. The cryptocurrency has gained about 6% since the start of the month. In March it has gained about 23%.&nbsp;
As per Mint, bitcoin's surge follows Friday's closely-watched US nonfarm payrolls report that showed employers maintained a strong pace of hiring in March, pointing to a still-resilient economy.
Bloomberg reported, bitcoin&rsquo;s breakout above stiff resistance at $30,000 comes after a so-called squeeze of the Bollinger Band, which saw historical volatility fall to the lowest since January. The compression back then resulted in a sharp move upward that looks similar to Tuesday&rsquo;s upside breakout. Traders following technical patterns may now be looking at the $30,800 area as a first potential objective, followed by $31,200.

Federal Reserve decision on Wednesday is the next key catalyst, cryptos show signs of fundamental strength

White House blasts on cryptocurrencies; says 'have no fundamental value’

Federal Reserve decision on Wednesday is the next key catalyst, cryptos show signs of fundamental strength

In its latest economic report, the White House has made some scathing comments on digital assets. The report features an entire chapter which points out flaws in the crypto ecosystem as well as raises serious concerns.&nbsp; This report, which casts doubts on the merits of crypto assets, has the crypto industry outraged.&nbsp;
The report, looked at a number of claims from the crypto industry, ranging from cryptocurrencies' role as investment vehicles and payment tools to its potential use in payment infrastructure, saying that "many of them do not have a fundamental value".&nbsp;
It also includes various disasters in the crypto sector, including last year's TerraUSD collapse, BitConnect and FTX, which were cited as examples of how everyday Americans were harmed.
Report comes amid growing industry concern that federal regulators are looking to de-bank crypto companies, though state and federal regulators have thus far denied these claims. Still, the tone of the report is unlikely to assuage these concerns. Meanwhile, most cryptocurrencies have gained momentum in the recent days with Bitcoin's price hovering above the $28,000 level for the first time since June 2022. The largest digital coin has gained roughly 25% since March 8, when signs first emerged of trouble around Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), which has since folded and ignited turmoil among other lenders.&nbsp;

Bitcoin hovered near nine-month highs on Monday, and has closed out its best week in four years 

Bitcoin nears 9-month high; here's what driving the recent surge in price

Bitcoin hovered near nine-month highs on Monday, and has closed out its best week in four years&nbsp;

As the turmoil in traditional banking drives some investors to turn to digital assets, the biggest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin surpassed $28,000 for the first time since June 2022.&nbsp;
Bitcoin's market value fell 1.8% to $27,549 after hitting its highest since June last year, on Sunday at $28,474 .
It rose 26% last week and is up more than 35% in ten days as turmoil in the banking sector has sent&nbsp; shockwaves around the globe &mdash; beginning with the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and culminating, so far, in UBS&rsquo; takeover of Credit Suisse at a discount over the weekend.
Ethereum, the second-biggest cryptocurrency, also rose to a seven-month high of $1,846.50 on Sunday and was last at $1,768.

On Friday, Bitcoin fell to a 2 month low, below $20,000 mark. 

Crypto meltdown: Over $70 billion wiped off crypto market in 24 hours

On Friday, Bitcoin fell to a 2 month low, below $20,000 mark. As per reports, the cryptocurrency market saw more than $70 billion wiped off in 24 hours&nbsp;

The meltdown in the cryptocurrency market was triggered by a sell-off in the U.S following the collapse of a crypto-focussed lender, Silvergate Capital.&nbsp;
On Friday, Bitcoin fell below the $20,000 mark hitting a two-month low. As per a report by CNBC, the cryptocurrency market saw more than $70 billion wiped off in 24 hours.&nbsp;
&ldquo;There is just little reason to buy bitcoin now as the market is saturated with negative developments, not just specifically for the crypto industry, but also for the wider financial market as well,&rdquo; Yuya Hasegawa, an analyst at Japanese crypto firm Bitbank, told CNBC.&nbsp; On Wednesday, Silvergate Capital said it was planning to wind down operations and liquidate voluntarily. This development also reflects how the collapse of major cryptocurrency exchange FTX continues to have an impact on the industry. FTX was a big customer of Silvergate.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's recent comments have opened the door to more rate hikes and at a faster pace than earlier anticipated. The high interest rates have particularly been impacting the cryptocurrency market and Powell's comments are another contributing factor to the crypto meltdown.&nbsp;
&nbsp;

Crypto trading and all related financial services will now come under the PMLA (Prevention of money laundering act). This is as per a notification issued by the finance ministry. 

Crypto transactions brought under money laundering law 

Crypto trading and all related financial services will now come under the PMLA (Prevention of money laundering act). This is as per a notification issued by the finance ministry.&nbsp;

The government has imposed anti-money laundering provisions on cryptocurrencies or virtual assets as it looks to tighten oversight of digital assets.
In a gazette notification, the Finance Ministry said the anti-money laundering legislation has been applied to crypto trading, safekeeping and related financial services.
After this, Indian crypto exchanges will have to report suspicious activity to the Financial Intelligence Unit India
The move is in line with the global trend of requiring digital-asset platforms to follow anti-money laundering standards similar to those followed by other regulated entities like banks or stock brokers.
Digital currency and assets like NFTs (non-fungible tokens) have gained traction globally over the last couple of years. Trading in these assets has increased manifold with cryptocurrency exchanges being launched. However, India till last year, did not have a clear policy on either regulating or taxing such asset classes.
The notification said, "Exchange between virtual digital assets and fiat currencies, exchange between one or more forms of virtual digital assets, transfer of virtual digital assets, safekeeping or administration of virtual digital assets or instruments enabling control over virtual digital assets, and participation in and provision of financial services related to an issuer's offer and sale of a virtual digital asset" will be now be covered by Prevention of Money-laundering Act, 2002.
Virtual digital assets were defined as any code or number or token generated through cryptographic means with the promise or representation of having inherent value.
Last month, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told Parliament that India was discussing with the G-20 member countries the need to develop a standard operating protocol for regulating crypto assets.
She had said crypto assets and Web3 are relatively new and evolving sectors and require significant international collaboration for any specific legislation on these sectors to be fully effective.
Crypto assets are by definition borderless and require international collaboration to prevent regulatory arbitrage. Therefore, any legislation for regulation or for banning can be effective only with significant international collaboration on the evaluation of the risks and benefits and evolution of common taxonomy and standards.
In the Budget for 2022-23, she had brought a 30 per cent tax on income from transactions in such assets. Also, to bring such assets under the tax net, she introduced a 1 per cent TDS (tax deducted at source) on transactions in such asset classes above a certain threshold. Gifts in crypto and digital assets were also taxed.
