Bitcoin extends weekly decline despite surge in trading activity

Bitcoin prices weakened further, trading near ₹80,85,330, marking a daily decline of 3.48 percent amid volatile global risk sentiment. The cryptocurrency’s market capitalisation fell to approximately ₹1,61,699 trillion, reflecting a weekly drop of nearly 12 percent from recent levels. Despite the price correction, trading volumes increased sharply, indicating active repositioning by investors rather than a broad exit from the asset class.
