    What's cooking in India
    Spot trading volumes on crypto exchanges CoinDCX, WazirX and Zebpay declined by at least 70 per cent on July 3 compared with June 30 as the rule requiring deduction of tax at source on every transaction came into effect on July 1.

    While crypto exchanges said that it is too early to know the actual impact of tax deducted at source (TDS) as trading volumes are typically lower on the weekend. According to some experts, trading would likely remain under pressure.

    Expert take
    Bitcoin has been holding its ground and trading within the range of $20,000 to $19,000 while Ethereum has been trading within the range of $1,150 to $1,000, according to WazirX Trade Desk.

    • Crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital has filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy, a move that protects its US assets while a liquidation is carried out in the British Virgin Islands.

    • Crypto broker Voyager Digital is temporarily suspending all trading, deposits, withdrawals and loyalty rewards, the company announced Friday. Even the Voyager-issued debit card will stop working for owners.

    • A deal by BlockFi and FTX US will provide the embattled crypto company with a $400 million credit facility. Also, El Salvador purchased 80 more bitcoin at $19,000 each, President Nayib Bukele said.
