What Crypto Exchanges Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Mudrex co-founder and CEO Edul Patel told ABP Live, “Bitcoin has persisted below the $30,000 threshold for yet another consecutive day, influenced by various factors such as investors taking profits after a rally and the US dollar’s strengthening. At one point, BTC even dropped to a one-month low of $29,500. Currently, BTC faces resistance at the $30,000 level and finds support at $29,600. Apart from Bitcoin, XRP and Ethereum have also experienced value declines. On a positive note, LINK’s performance has managed to avoid a downturn. Furthermore, a notable development is the United States government introducing a new bill to regulate digital assets, potentially impacting the future of cryptocurrencies.”
Shubham Hudda, Senior Manager, CoinSwitch Markets Desk, said, “BTC, for another day, traded flat while altcoins registered some significant developments. LINK (+17.3 percent) is making a big move after launching its CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol). Good moves in other prominent DeFi tokens like MKR (+8.38 percent), SNX (+5.96 percent), and COMP (+5.29 percent) underline that the current market interest is around accumulating quality DeFi protocols before Bitcoin coves out of its tight range of trading.”
Rajagopal Menon, Vice President, WazirX, offered his take, “The overall market sentiment remains neutral even as prices for Bitcoin and Ethereum decreased. The macroeconomic factors and equity markets results have had little impact on user sentiment. Altcoins continue their popularity streak even amidst price volatility.”
Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin is currently hovering slightly above the important $29,500 support level, bolstered by a triple bottom pattern on the four-hour time frame. Technical indicators such as RSI (39) and MACD (-5) indicate bearish sentiment. The 50-day exponential moving average acts as resistance around $29,995. The likelihood of Bitcoin remaining bearish below $30,000 is high, with potential support at $28,900 if it breaks below $29,500. A bullish breakout could push it to $30,000 and even $30,500. If demand increases, a break of $30,450 could lead to a rally towards further resistance at $31,200. Watching the $29,500 level is vital as it could indicate a buying opportunity above or quick selling positions if breached.”
Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUCoin, said, “The entire volume of the cryptocurrency market increased by an amazing 19.70 percent over the past day to reach an astounding $37.46 billion. Ripple’s XRP, the third-largest cryptocurrency, gained 6.8 percent, while native cryptocurrencies Cardano, Solana, ADA, and SOL surged over 6 percent, outpacing Bitcoin and Ether. With a value of $29,905.69, Bitcoin continues to play a significant role in this rollercoaster. These numbers demonstrate the potential of the cryptocurrency sector and its indisputable influence on the financial landscape, which presents opportunities and difficulties for both investors and enthusiasts.”
CoinDCX Research Team told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is holding a key support above $30,000 with a record-breaking accumulation of 5,92,000 BTCs worth $17.8 billion at the $30,200 level as per Glassnode, suggesting that investors are confident that BTC will continue to hold above this level. However, BTC dominance is close to its 1-month low, as investors are shifting their focus to smaller, riskier tokens. One such token is XRP, which has surpassed Bitcoin in trading volume after a court ruling determined that it is not a security.”

CoinMarketCap, the popular cryptocurrency price tracking site, suffered a website supply chain attack that exposed site visitors to a wallet drainer campaign to steal visitors’ crypto.
On Friday evening, January 20, CoinMarketCap visitors began seeing Web3 popups asking them to connect their wallets to the site. However, when visitors connected their wallets, a malicious script drained cryptocurrency from them.
The company later confirmed threat actors utilized a vulnerability in the site’s homepage “doodle” image to inject malicious JavaScript into the site.
“On June 20, 2025, our security team identified a vulnerability related to a doodle image displayed on our homepage. This doodle image contained a link that triggered malicious code through an API call, resulting in an unexpected popup for some users when visited our homepage,” reads a statement posted on X.
“Upon discovery, We acted immediately to remove the problematic content, identified the root cause, and comprehensive measures have been implemented to isolate and mitigate the issue.”
“We can confirm all systems are now fully operational, and CoinMarketCap is safe and secure for all users.”
Cybersecurity firm c/side explained that the attack worked by the threat actors somehow modifying the API used by the site to retrieve a doodle image to display on the homepage. This tampered JSON payload now included a malicious script tag that injected a wallet drainer script into CoinMarketCap from an external site named “static.cdnkit[.]io”.
When someone visited the page, the script would execute and display a fake wallet connect popup showing CoinMarketCap branding and mimicking a legitimate Web3 transaction request. However, this script was actually a wallet drainer designed to steal connected wallets’ assets.
“This was a supply chain attack, meaning the breach didn’ target CMC’s own servers but a third-party tool or resource used by CMC,” explains c/side.
“Such attacks are hard to detect because they exploit trusted elements of a platform.”
More details about the attack came later from a threat actor known as Rey, who said that the attackers behind the CoinMarketCap supply chain attack shared a screenshot of the drainer panel on a Telegram channel.
This panel indicated that $43,266 was stolen from 110 victims as part of this supply chain attack, with the threat actors speaking in French on the Telegram channel.

As the popularity of cryptocurrency has boomed, so has the threat from wallet drainers, which are commonly used in attacks.
Unlike traditional phishing, these types of attacks are more often promoted through social media posts, advertisements, spoofed sites, and malicious browser extensions that include malicious wallet-draining scripts.
Reports indicate that wallet drainers stole almost $500 million in 2024 through attacks targeting more than 300,000 wallet addresses.
The problem has become so pervasive that Mozilla recently introduced a new system to detect wallet drainers in browser add-ons uploaded to the Firefox Add-on repository.
Patching used to mean complex scripts, long hours, and endless fire drills. Not anymore.
In this new guide, Tines breaks down how modern IT orgs are leveling up with automation. Patch faster, reduce overhead, and focus on strategic work — no complex scripts required.
