Top Reasons Why The Crypto Market Is Falling Today

The price of Bitcoin (BTC), along with the entire cryptocurrency market, experienced a correction as traders were left uncertain by reports of a concerted “international cryptocurrency enforcement effort” undertaken by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Treasury Department. The value of cryptocurrencies fell after it was disclosed that the United States government would take legal action against a relatively obscure Russian crypto exchange known as Bitzlato.

Crypto Market Dips On Bitzlato News

The DOJ’s news alarmed the crypto markets, causing the top cryptocurrency by market cap to drop by about $1,000 and Ethereum (ETH) to retrace back to the $1,500 level. Other major cryptocurrencies such as Dogecoin, XRP, Cardano also saw a dip in price after the announcement was widely covered by media outlets.

The majority of investors anticipate that the United States and global regulators will eventually place a heavy regulatory burden on centralized exchanges and other businesses connected to the cryptocurrency sector; as a result of the high number of crypto-related scams and the proliferation of black swan events that occurred in 2022.

Layoffs & Economic Worries

The gloomy forecast for the U.S. and global economy in 2023 that was made by banks visiting Davos and the rising tendency of large technology businesses laying off personnel could both be contributing factors to the additional pressure that is being placed on crypto assets. recently, Ethereum development company ConsenSys announced its decision to axe 11% of its workforce globally. Earlier, Coinbase, Amazon and even Microsoft issued similar notices to their employees.

Enjin coin, Lido, Frax and Chiliz were a few of the digital currencies which witnessed larger drops of more than 5% in value; however, have now recovered slightly after the steep decline. The total value of all cryptocurrencies on the market is currently $975.95 billion which represents a decline of 3% over the course of the previous day.

As things stand, the price of  Bitcoin (BTC) is currently being traded at $20,849. This represents a decrease of 2.7% on the day, in contrast to a gain of 21.07% during the week as per CoinGape’s crypto market tracker.

    according to institutional reports, US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman, Clayton, is making a final push to allow the agency to regulate the cryptocurrency market before the Trump administration's term ends and its enthusiasm for digital assets wanes. In a speech prepared for a legal conference in New York on Thursday, Clayton reiterated that the agency should focus on "road rules" applicable to cryptocurrency sales and intermediaries such as brokers and exchanges to support proper disclosure. Clayton stated that the experience of the Great Depression made decision-makers aware of the "importance of disclosure terms, as information about securities creates a public product".

  • U.S. money market fund assets exceed $7 trillion for the first time

    according to data provided by Crane Data, which has long been researching the currency market fund field, as of the week of November 13th, the management assets of US currency market funds increased by about $91 billion, and the total scale exceeded $7 trillion for the first time, which is a milestone for the industry. Due to the high and reliable yield, the popularity of this industry among investors has risen sharply. Before reaching the $7 trillion mark, the scale of US currency market assets hit a historic high for several consecutive months, which refuted doubts about whether the industry could continue to be popular as Federal Reserve officials lowered interest rates from their highest level in 20 years. After US policy makers cut interest rates by 50 basis points in September and another 25 basis points this month, investors continued to pour into currency market funds, mainly because the yield of these funds is higher than other tools, especially bank deposits. Compared with banks, the speed at which these funds transmit the impact of low interest rates is often slower.
