Experts say that panic over inflation and fears of a potential recession are reasons behind the ongoing crypto market crash.
“When the Fed Reserve announced that interest rates would rise by half a percentage point, BTC saw a brief relief rally where the crypto touched $40,000. This sentiment did not last for long as market participants began panicking over inflation and a potential recession, resulting in equities and crypto markets plunging,” Darshan Bathija, CEO and Co-Founder of Vauld, told FE Online.
A sharp fall in market sentiment resulted in Bitcoin registering levels around $34000, while ETH dropped to $2527.
The fear and greed Index for crypto, which gauges market sentiment stood at “extreme fear” at the moment.
“The crypto markets have been moving in lock-step with the equities market, and what we’re seeing right now is investors treating BTC as a risk-on asset. In light of fears of rising inflation, most investors have taken a risk-off approach – selling stocks and cryptos alike in order to cut down risk,” said Bathija.
