Market picture</p><p>
The
crypto market has lost over 5% in the last 24 hours, pushing capitalisation
back below $1 trillion. The steep fall in FTT affected Bitcoin and Ether and has
pulled a significant market spectrum.
Bitcoin is now trading at $19.8K, with the most substantial losses coming in
the Asian session, filled with algorithmic traders, pushing the price back to
$19.4K at one point. It is noteworthy that a sell-off did not follow the
sell-off in the first and second cryptocurrencies in the markets. </p><p>Once again,
we are forced to guess whether crypto reflects the internal risk attitude of
the financial markets or whether we have seen a short-term technical sell-off.
In the former case, market sentiment will worsen during the day. In the second,
BTCUSD will redeem during the day and further confirm the market’s reversal to
growth. </p><p class=“MsoNormal“>
According to CoinShares, investments in crypto funds declined last week after a
slight increase the previous week. Outflows amounted to $16m compared to
inflows of $6m a week earlier. Bitcoin investments fell by $13 million, and
Ethereum rose by $3 million. Investments in funds that allow shorts on bitcoin
fell by $7 million. Investors have shown a lack of enthusiasm over the past eight
weeks, CoinShares noted.

Former
MicroStrategy head Michael Saylor called bitcoin a „hope“ for
Lebanon, whose national currency has fallen 96% against the dollar, and
inflation has reached triple digits. The Middle Eastern country has been in a
deep financial crisis since 2019.
</p><p>Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk, plans to postpone temporarily or entirely shut
down the development of some of the projects announced by the previous
administration, including, reportedly, work on a cryptocurrency wallet. The
news has hurt Dogecoin, which has been growing in hopes of becoming the social
network’s digital currency.</p><p>
According to Reuters, UK bank Santander will block transactions on
cryptocurrency exchanges in 2023 to protect consumers from fraud.</p><p class=“MsoNormal“>
