After staging a mild recovery over the last few days, investors predicted that BTC would break out of its two-week-long bearish streak. However, BTC, failed to meet this expectations, sinking to $18,680 on Tuesday 7th, a low point not seen since late June.
While some are predict a quick recovery, Reuters has declared that bitcoin is no longer the king of swingers, in one of its reports. The news report alleges that BTC may have lost its buzz. For many enthusiasts, it has largely become a wait-and-watch game.
An Exceptionally Challenging 2022 Bear market
Recently, Glassnode, an on-chain market intelligence platform, released data which revealed that the majority of BTC on the market has lain dormant for the past year. The “increasing dormant supply is a characteristic of BTC bear markets,” the company said. In its recent research, Glassnode highlighted that the 2022 bear market has been exceptionally challenging for digital asset investors, with Bitcoin and Ethereum plummetting from their ATHs by 75% and 85%, respectively.
As El Salvador reached the one year anniverssary of adopting BTC as a legal tender, the country’s leaders accepted that the cryptocurrency had not fulfilled the main objectives promised by the government. The goal of its financial inclusion was also noted to have failed in the country.
However, President Nayib Bukele assured citizens that the adoption of Bitcoin would increase the country’s financial inclusion, and reduce the cost of sending remittances to El Salvador.
The success or failure of adopting BTC as a legal tender is under the microscope, as other countries contemplate the future direction of their crypto policies and regulations.
