Cryptocurrency Price Today: Bitcoin, Ether See Drops, Most Altcoins See Impact, Record Losses
On Tuesday, October 3, Bitcoin recorded a loss of 1.39% compared to its trading value. Despite this loss, Bitcoin recorded a price of $27,415 (around Rs. 22.8 lakh), which is relatively higher than the price range where BTC was trading throughout September. The most valuable cryptocurrency has seen a price increase of $498 (around Rs. 41,457) over the past three days, including the weekend. However, the current loss witnessed by BTC has shown its impact on other cryptocurrencies, including Ether.
Ether showed even greater losses than Bitcoin on Tuesday. At the time of writing, ETH was trading at $1,661 (around Rs. 1.38 lakh) after losing 3.23%. Over the past three days, ETH has not seen a notable change in its prices.

This caused a slight impact on earnings driven by positive indicators, such as the approval of Ether futures ETFs by the US SEC, however, it is worth noting that Bitcoin typically shows strength in October and has seen an increase of 68.21% over the year,” he told Gadgets 360 Edul Patel, co-founder and CEO of Mudrex.
