The cryptocurrency market is known to be highly volatile in comparison to the traditional market. Several factors come into play when trying to understand why the market is so volatile. It is vital to understand what leads to such volatility to be able to best predict it.

👉 Firstly, crypto-assets lack intrinsic value, meaning most of these assets aren't backed by a physical commodity or currency. Its value is based on faith in an idea.
Most Crypto assets have a fixed supply, as such, prices move based on the number of buyers available.

👉 Cryptocurrencies are an emerging market and is relatively small in comparison to the rest. The smaller market size results in greater impact on prices.
Speculation is also known to drive prices and a small announcement or rumour impacts heavily on price.

👉 The lack of regulatory oversight also leads to market manipulation that causes price swings. This discourages institutional involvement, the lack of which results in volatility.
Institutional presence would bring in greater potential for stability, efficiency, and investment.

👉 The market is still at an early stage of development. As such, any new development often moves the market.
Several hurdles like scalability are still being explored, and this also leads to pressure on crypto prices.

👉 Media plays a significant role since the market is highly speculative and small in size. Investors are always looking out for news (some even baseless) that could impact the market.
This often results in a race to buy and sell a particular asset, impacting its price.

👉 All these factors combined result in the market experiencing huge price movements. However, the industry has come a long way and is becoming more stable as the market expands.

The crash over the past two days wiped off approximately $350 billion from the market.

Analysts have blamed it on China's 18th May announcement. This added up with Elon Musk's tweet that Tesla would not be accepting Bitcoin as payment.

“Whatever caused the initial market-wide crash – probably a lot of Elon with some China and other vague regulatory news thrown in, or maybe it’s a “natural correction” – it happened, and liquidations did a lot of work to make the downturn more intense,” said Sam Trabucco.

Analysts have come forward to state that volatility is embedded in the cryptocurrency market and this collapse was rather a healthy correction that would allow new investors to add crypto to their portfolio.

While some investors will back out, several is expected to buy this dip.

The DeFi space is still a nascent stage and the massive attention this emerging market has received has made it attractive for criminals.

Binance Smart Chain DeFi protocol Pancake Bunny recently fell victim to a $200 million flash loan attack.

So what happened?

👉🏽The attacker used PanCakeSwap to borrow BNB.
👉🏽The attacker manipulated the price of USDT/BNB and BUNNY/BNB using the flash loan.
👉🏽The attacker dumped all the BUNNY tokens resulting in a crash.
👉🏽The attacker then paid off the BNB flash loan.

Flash loan attacks are quite common in the DeFi space and project teams are working every day to fix the loopholes that help devise these attacks.

The attacks do not mean DeFi is a lost cause, in fact, these point out the flaws in the system so it can be patched.

Hundreds and thousands of cryptocurrency speculators lost all their money during the past few days.

As the retail sector was in disarray, opportunities have been sniffed out by the banks and other large institutional investors alike.

On May 19th alone, an outflow of 16,895 BTC was reported over a span of ten minutes.

According to analysts, the market's big decline has made it more appealing for institutional investors who hold cryptocurrencies for significantly long periods of time.

Last day's fiasco is the perfect example to show how holders can significantly outperform retail investors in the long run.

Following China's decision to clamp down on cryptocurrency, numerous large crypto-based businesses are trying to relocate their operations.

All custodial business has been suspended at Huobi Mall, the subsidiary of crypto exchange Huobi, following plans to move overseas.

“In the long term, nearly all of Chinese crypto mining rigs will be sold overseas, as Chinese regulators crackdown on mining at home. China will lose crypto computing power to foreign markets as well,” said the founder of BTC.TOP, the largest BTC mining pool.


These actions demonstrate that innovation cannot be stopped within the crypto space. Corporations would only move to crypto-friendly jurisdictions.

As such, Indian regulators must closely monitor these developments and be flexible in their approach towards regulating Crypto.

Following a community-wide debate over Bitcoin's energy use, Elon Musk now claims to have been in contact with a large number of miners in North America about utilizing renewable energy for Bitcoin mining.

The meeting was arranged by MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor.

Saylor, who recently chastised Musk for his Bitcoin statements, stated that miners had agreed to form the "Bitcoin Mining Council" to improve energy transparency and speed global sustainability projects.

Some say this smells of centralization, but others argue that this would resolve the current Bitcoin mining energy consumption argument, which is a highly debated matter.

Bitcoin has always been community-driven, do you think the council of miners could take that away?

Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, said he will "allow" crypto trading.

In February, CBN Director Bello Hassan signed a letter to financial service providers, threatening severe regulatory sanction if found dealing with #crypto exchanges.

Now, Emefiele says: “We are committed in the CBN and I can assure everybody that digital currency will come to life even in Nigeria."

It is unclear why the central bank changed its tune regarding crypto, but it could be attributed to heavy demand for #crypto in the nation.

India and its underlying crypto-economy are remarkably similar.

Therefore, regulation of the Crypto industry makes sense, else crypto aficionados would be compelled to leverage other alternatives for accessing the market. Which could foster illicit activities.
