News recap: US banking crisis and a new crypto rally
BTC skyrocketed again, surpassing $26,000, Goldman Sachs filed a patent focusing on blockchain, while President Biden proposed to raise $24 billion from crypto taxes. Read our News recap to learn more about the main crypto events that occurred between 03rd and 16th March 2023. Crypto market in numbers Between 03rd and 10th March, the crypto market capitalisation was declining steadily, eventually hitting a local low of $913 billion. However, since 11th March, the indicator suddenly began to grow, showing an increase of 24.5% and hitting a local high of $1.137 trillion. Such numbers have not been observed since the end of August 2022. At the moment, capitalisation stands at around $1.050 – $1.100 trillion. Trading activity remained low until mid-March. Average daily trading volumes stood in the range of $30-$55 billion. Between 10th and 13th March, the indicator rose by as much as 158% to $111 billion. Since 14th March, average daily trading volumes gained a foothold between $80 and $102 billion. Between 03rd and 08th March, the Cryptocurrency Fear & Greed Index remained in the “Neutral” zone. Then, the indicator dropped to 33 points, moving down to the “Fear” zone. But since 13th March, the index has returned to the “Neutral” zone, having managed to gain a foothold above 50 points, the levels observed at the end of January. The volatility of cryptocurrencies has increased significantly due to fundamental factors. Between 03rd and 16th March, Bitcoin’s 30-day volatility index rose by 58.5% to 3.60%. The same indicator for ETH grew by 34.9% to 3.13%. March started with a significant correction in the crypto market, which was facilitated by the local overbought conditions and macroeconomic factors. The bankruptcy of several banks associated with crypto led to the increasing volatility of the crypto market. USDC and several algorithmic stablecoins broke the US dollar peg for a short period. Surprisingly, this has contributed to the growth of cryptocurrencies. That’s because investors were exchanging USDC for bitcoin, ether and other coins. Positive US inflation data also added to the market growth. Consumer prices declined from 6.4% to 6% in the last 12 months ending in February.
