The overall cryptoasset market capitalization is standing at $895B, down by 35% from $1.38T recorded by the end of May. Bitcoin’s valuation shattered by almost 40% in June, its second-worst month ever, while Ethereum is down by 48%. The best winners of June’s rally are Cardano and XRP, who dipped by 22% and 25% since last month. As the war intensifies between Russia and Ukraine, the grip tightens on resources, and purchasing power dwindles and goes hand-in-hand with the global food crisis into another era. A pending recession may become a reality — affecting the public equity market. The S&P 500 and Eurostoxx 600 recorded their worst first half since 1970 and 2008 respectively. Regarding factors driving the market from within, there’s been a “contagious” liquidity crisis affecting various companies and funds in the aftermath of the Terra/Luna collapse, with bigger crypto companies like FTX stepping in as a buyer of last resort, and in some cases, walking away.
Come what may, the crypto industry is on build mode as it has always been during its past bear markets. However, this time the industry has the leverage of institutional recognition and backing. Onchain data indicates that investors may be taking on the opportunity of the market drawdown, Michael Saylor for instance bought $10M worth of Bitcoin over the past month.
