“Bitcoin rallied Wednesday as the narrative of ‘not your keys, not your money’ is reignited by First Republic Bank’s crash, highlighting the beauty of Bitcoin’s decentralised P2P cash system. BTC’s surge ended its five-day losing streak and continued its upward trend in April and 2021, hitting 10-month highs near $31,000 (roughly Rs. 25.3 lakh). Ethereum also climbed seven percent overall in the past day,” Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX told Gadgets 360.
