Bitcoin bitten
Bitcoin is on track for its
worst quarter in more than a decade, as more hawkish central banks and a string of high-profile crypto blowups hammer sentiment. The 58% drawdown in the biggest cryptocurrency is the largest since the third quarter of 2011, when Bitcoin was still in its infancy, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The current bear market stands out for the amount of crypto leverage that’s been unwound.
But JPMorgan Chase & Co. said the current phase of deleveraging is at an advanced stage and may not last much longer. Crypto lender
Genesis Trading is looking at a potential loss running into the “hundreds of millions” of dollars,
CoinDesk reported, citing people it didn’t identify.
