Here’s the Evergrande Connection to Latest Bitcoin (BTC) Price Crash
The Asian Time Bitcoin Crash came as a surprise to the investors. However, the Evergrande connection makes the fall appear to be more predictable. The Chinese Real Estate Giant, Evergrande was speculated to be the potential reason for the crash after getting banned from the US, in lieu of its $2 trillion debt.
The Hong Kong stock market plummeted, triggering a decline in global markets and cryptocurrencies. The main reason is Evergrande, China's largest real estate company with nearly 2 trillion debts. Tether just clarified that it does not hold Evergrande commercial votes.

September 2021 has been a historically bear month for crypto. While Bitcoin fell to the 44K-45K price bracket, many other cryptocurrencies and exchanges faced regulatory wrath. Following the Chinese crypto crackdown, regulators worldwide actively began shutting down unregistered crypto businesses and enforced multiple restrictions on the industry.
The US saw the controversial Crypto clause of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. Since becoming public knowledge, the clause has seen considerable criticism, not just from the common man but also from members of the Senate Finance Committee and Republicans.
