After reaching record highs late last year, cryptocurrency has had a rough 2022, buffeted by everything from the Fed’s policy tightening to the implosion of the Terra/Luna ecosystem, hedge funds Three Arrows Capital, and exchange FTX. This year, digital assets have suffered greatly as the Federal Reserve and other major central banks across the world hiked interest rates to combat record inflation.
The demise of FTX last month was the most surprising in a string of big market player closures this year, including Celsius and Voyager, as well as prominent tokens terraUSD and Luna, which have damaged investor confidence.
