Xangle’s Take on the Market This Week

  • Crypto tumbled this week, buffeted by a series of headwinds, including persistent inflation jitters, Silvergate distress, Mt. Gox repayment, and Binance’s alleged money laundering.
  • While the retreat was observed in all sectors, Korea Crypto Index (-15%), NFT (-15%), and Games/Metaverse (-15%) posted the biggest losses.
