In This Article:

Key Insights:

  • It was a mixed Saturday session for the crypto to ten, with bitcoin (BTC) bucking the top ten trend.

  • News of 3AC filing for bankruptcy, Voyager Digital suspending withdrawals, and rumors pegged back the majors, however.

  • However, the total crypto market cap rose for the first time in seven sessions. A $2.28 billion increase took the market cap to $848.5 billion.

It was a mixed Saturday for the crypto market. Bitcoin (BTC) extended its losing streak to seven sessions with a modest 0.12% loss. Cardano (ADA), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) rose for the first time in seven sessions.

The broader-based gains came despite the crypto market getting hit with news of Three Arrows Capital (3AC) filing for bankruptcy and Voyager digital suspending withdrawals.

Relative to the losses at the turn of the quarter, however, the gains were modest, with downside risks firmly in place.

Market headwinds include fears of a recession, sentiment towards monetary policy, and the evolving regulatory landscape, though the regulatory environment could improve for some jurisdictions.

In the US, the successful passage of the Lummis and Gillibrand bill could prove crypto-friendly, should lawmakers task the CFTC with regulating the digital asset space.
