The total volume in DeFi is currently $31.04 billion, 29.94 percent of the total crypto market 24-hour volume. The volume of all stablecoins is now $69.37 billion, which is 66.91 percent of the total cryptocurrency market’s 24-hour volume.

In India, experts say that cryptocurrency exchanges needed clarity on whether they should pay Goods and Services Tax (GST) on earnings from the non-monetary route, i.e., from cryptocurrencies and not only from Indian Rupees (INR) which has been cleared now. This comes after the recent income tax raid on one of the largest Indian crypto exchanges, WazirX. Exchanges say there is also a lack of clarity on how crypto assets are categorized and how different business models should be taxed.
CryptoWire earlier launched India’s first index of cryptocurrencies. Called IC15, this index tracks performances of the top 15 most widely traded and liquid cryptocurrencies.
