Over 30 days, measured against the price stored in our daily table 30 days earlier, Bitcoin is up 6.6 percent, Ethereum is down 1.9 percent, XRP is down 0.7 percent and Zcash is down 23.4 percent. Tether and USD Coin, both dollar-pegged, were each about 0.9 percent lower over the same window.

Stablecoins against the USD INR rate

Tether (USDT) was Rs 94.86 in the snapshot and USD Coin (USDC) Rs 94.93. The USD INR rate in our FX table was Rs 95.08 at the same run, so USDT traded about 0.2 percent below it. The USDT to INR converter shows the rupee value of any Tether amount. That gap is a difference between two market prices in our tables. It is not a rate set by a bank or an authority.

Largest 7-day moves among the top 50

This list covers the 50 largest coins by market cap in our snapshot, leaving out stablecoins and dollar-linked tokens. Market cap sits beside each coin, so a large percentage on a small coin can be read in context.

CoinRank by market cap7-day changeMarket cap
Bitway (BTW), largest gain33+58.95%US$3.7 billion
Monero (XMR)13+10.29%US$11.0 billion
LEO Token (LEO)17+1.44%US$8.3 billion
Pump.fun (PUMP), largest fall49-22.00%US$2.0 billion
Quant (QNT)38-18.02%US$2.9 billion
Canton (CC)29-16.92%US$4.0 billion

Bitway's gain of 58.95 percent came from a coin with a market cap of about US$3.7 billion, and Pump.fun's fall of 22.00 percent from one of about US$2.0 billion. Both are small next to Bitcoin, whose market cap in the same snapshot was about US$1,651 billion.

Tax, and what this wrap does not cover

Gains from virtual digital assets are taxed under the Income-tax Act, and TDS can apply to transfers above a threshold. This wrap does not state the rate, the threshold or the section number, because we did not confirm them on the Income Tax Department site for this post. Check the current rules on incometax.gov.in before you file. The Income-tax Act 2025 applies from 1 April 2026 and renumbers many sections.

This wrap shows market prices and changes only. It does not show your own cost, fees or tax, and it does not say where prices go next. The crypto hub has the live pages for each coin.

Common mistakes when reading a weekly wrap

  • Comparing a 7-day percentage on a small coin with the same figure on Bitcoin, without checking the market cap.
  • Reading two prices as if they came from the same moment. Check the snapshot time on each table.
  • Treating a stablecoin price near Rs 95 as a bank rate. It is a market quote for that coin.
  • Leaving out fees and tax when you work out what a price change means for you.

What was the price of Bitcoin in India in this snapshot?

In our snapshot run at 16:04 IST on 18 October 2026, Bitcoin was priced at Rs 77,99,153. Our crypto table refreshes every 10 minutes, so the live figure in that table can differ, and the snapshot time is the one to quote with the number.

Why is Tether priced below the USD INR rate?

In our data, USDT was about 0.2 percent below the USD INR rate in our FX table at 16:04 IST on 18 October 2026. The two are separate market prices and can differ by a small amount on any day. This wrap does not state a cause.

How is the 30-day change calculated?

It compares the current INR price with the price stored in our daily crypto table 30 days earlier and shows the percentage change. The daily table keeps 365 days of INR and USD prices for each coin.

How is the gain on crypto taxed in India?

Gains from virtual digital assets are taxed under the Income-tax Act, and TDS can apply to transfers above a threshold. This post does not state the rate or threshold, so check them and the section number on incometax.gov.in, because the Income-tax Act 2025 applies from 1 April 2026 and renumbers many sections.
