The crypto crash that rocketed markets back in May got worse in June 2022.
The prices of major Cryptocurrency Prices have been falling steadily over the past few days. Bitcoin lost around 15% of its value in just a couple of hours. It closed last week at its lowest point since December 2020.
The total market cap of cryptocurrencies has dropped below $1 trillion, the lowest level since January 2021. It’s 67% lower than its all-time high of $3 trillion, reached in November last year.
Today, we’re taking a look at the prices of various cryptocurrencies. These include Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Dogecoin, Stellar, and Solana.
Why is crypto crashing again?
According to the consumer price index data released by the US government last week, inflation in the country was at 8.6% in May.
This is the highest inflation level in over 30 years. It sent shockwaves through the markets, with the S&P500 falling 4% to its lowest since December 1981.
This increase in inflation is expected to trigger a rise in interest rates by the Federal Reserve. This could cause further negative news for cryptocurrencies.
Celsius, widespread lending and staking platform, has temporarily suspended its operations in response to the rising prices of cryptocurrencies. The company cited extreme market conditions as the reason for its decision. Its own Celsius token has lost more than 50% in the past week.
It’s been a month since the collapse of Terra Luna, and the widespread layoffs and issues within the crypto industry have once again affected the market.
