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.
The demise of FTX last month was the most surprising in a string of big industry player closures this year, including Celsius and Voyager, as well as prominent tokens terraUSD and Luna, which have rocked investor confidence and wiped out $1.5 trillion in cryptocurrency market capitalization.
