Recession Could Result In More Losses To Small Crypto Retailers?

The crypto market downturn in recent times led to a blanket loss for all investors, of all kinds. However, it was the small investors who suffered more losses by selling at losses in panic. With the possibility of a recession, the same situation could be repeated as lesser revenues could mean people selling at low prices and buying at high prices. Also, the crypto community thinks there might not be any more crashes as people are used to crypto winter already.

Meanwhile, Crypto Rover, an influencer, thinks Bitcoin could be the biggest beneficiary of the recession. “I still believe Bitcoin will recover the strongest after this recession.” Overall, several old timers in the crypto space have been suggesting that crypto could be bullish in this scenario. XRP Queen, a crypto enthusiast, said the recession signals this is the time to buy XRP.

“United States is officially in a recession following two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. Time to buy XRP.”
