 What Led To Market Crash?

The latest crypto crash is the aftermath of troubles faced by Silvergate Capital Corp, a crypto friendly bank. However, it is now reviewing whether it can remain viable or not. As per reports, several digital asset exchanges and stablecoin issuers rejected initiating payments through Silvergate.

However, there are several reasons behind the recent crypto crash which led to a massive liquidation. First, Coinbase went on to suspend Silvergate payments then the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) warned the investors that crypto exchanges are not safe.

Later, Crypto.com decided to suspend Silvergate payments and the crashed crypto exchange, FTX accepted $8.9 in missing funds.
