Crypto Recovery in 2023

The rise of these digital assets is being buoyed by an improved macroeconomic landscape due to the U.S Fed’s success at controlling inflation, as well as a general increase in investor appetite for riskier investments including cryptos.
FTX Troubles & Regulatory Action
The troubles of FTX, Genesis, Gemini, Three Arrows Capital, Celsius and other individual players has created a wave of scandals that has caught the attention of regulators in Washington D.C., who are now paying closer attention to cryptocurrencies than ever before.. Perianne Boring – founder and CEO of Chamber of Digital Commerce – has warned that “It’s a dangerous mix” when lawmakers are less likely to meet with crypto companies despite crypto policy being top priority on their agenda list. As a result expect more regulatory action in the near future targeting bad actors rather than the asset itself.
