Welcome to the crypto market roundup. The crypto landscape is constantly evolving. To help you stay informed, we’ve curated the most exciting crypto content and news you should know about from the previous week. 

 

Why is Crypto Crashing?

The crypto market tumbled midweek sparked by the U.S Federal Reserve’s plan for aggressive monetary policy tightening erasing most of the previous two weeks’ gains, Coindesk reported.

“The Fed aims to tamp down inflation without igniting a recession,” Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research said in a note. “Investors are skeptical, but we expect inflation will moderate later this year".

The Fed is also set to start cutting its balance sheet in the coming months. The meeting minutes revealed that officials “generally agreed” it should shrink its balance sheet by $95B per month. The crypto and stock market all fell on the news.
