Investors and cryptocurrency enthusiasts have been closely watching the market over the past few weeks, as many have been anticipating a possible price correction after the recent surge in value. The market saw unprecedented growth earlier this year, with Bitcoin gaining high in March.
This happened allegedly after moments of the cryptocurrency ecosystem acting as a haven amid major bank runs. The downfall of the likes of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), Signature, and others on the Fed’s policy failures have, however, been blamed by experts.
Cathie Wood, CEO of asset management firm ARK Invest, blasted the Federal Reserve’s failure to prevent bank runs. However, all the warning indicators were in a discussion posted on Twitter on March 16.
The asset/liability duration mismatch – securities earning only 1-2% vs. deposits paying 3-5% – became untenable as deposits started leaving the system. Like SVB, some banks were forced to sell HTM securities, recognizing losses that depleted their equity accounts.— Cathie Wood (@CathieDWood) March 16, 2023
Amid all uncertainties in the crypto and finance sector, Coinmarketcap reports a 0.83% decline in Bitcoin`s price to trade at $24,678 within the past 24 hours. On the other hand, the second-largest crypto, Ethereum (ETH), is trading at $1,658.53, a 2.73% decline within the same timeframe.
