Coinbase report blames negative sentiment towards crypto for current market situation

July 8, 2022

The report, published by Cesare Fracassi, the Chief Economist at Coinbase, explores the crypto prices and the overall market efficiency.

The report noted that crypto investments have yielded large returns in the last 5 years due to high adoption by institutional and retail investors.

According to analysts, worsening macroeconomic conditions and weakening belief in crypto has caused the market to crash.

“The recent decline can be attributed for two-third to worsening macro-factors, and for one-third to a weakening of the outlook for cryptocurrencies,” the report stated.

Coinbase analysts further compared crypto markets’ risk profile to that of oil prices and technology stocks.

Analysts noted that the market’s assessment of digital assets’ future will determine their price in the present.

Change in the outlook of the crypto industry relative to what is already expected will bring changes to prices.
