 <p class="paragraph">It has been a tough month for the Indian Rupee (INR), as India’s legal tender currency has lost meaningful value in the forex market, despite the recent price disinflation observed in the country.</p> 
 <div></div> 
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, the US dollar (USD) reached an unprecedented high of ₹83.44 a<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="gains" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/gains.html">gains</a>t the INR in August 2023, which evidences the loss of international purchasing power for the Indian Rupee.</p> 
 <p class="paragraph">In this context, Bitcoin (BTC) can also be considered as a value index in the financial market, due to its characteristics of a global and supranational monetary system, which can also be used as a store of value, means of exchange, and unity of accounting. And BTC is ‘crushing’ INR in price performance.</p> 
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-btc-inr-price-analysis">BTC/INR price analysis</h2> 
 <p class="paragraph">Only in 2023, Bitcoin has overperformed the Indian Rupee with a 74.39% price appreciation. Moving from ₹1,657,684 on January 1, to ₹2,884,539 per BTC on September 23, at the time of publication.</p>
