Points clés à retenir
The latest price crash in cryptocurrencies coincides with a broader downturn in financial markets, partly triggered by fears of a looming global recession. Japan’s Nikkei 225 dropped over 12%, extending losses that began last week, marking its worst day since the “Black Monday” crash in 1987. In the U.S., the Nasdaq slid 3.4% last week into correction territory, concluding the tech-heavy index’s worst three-week stretch since September 2022, when the market was in freefall. The index fell another 3.4% on Monday. The sudden collapse in crypto prices took many market analysts by surprise, as the previous consensus among experts was that Bitcoin could rally to another new all-time high this year. This optimism was based on a successful halving and the inflow of billions of dollars worth of investment from newly approved Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
