Silvergate Covered $8.1b in Customer Withdrawals, Coinbase Reached $100m Settlement with NYDFS
Jan 5, 2023
On the back of hot JOLTs data yesterday, equity markets continued to move lower while the dollar gained strength. ^SPX and NDAQ 0.74% shed 1.1% and 1.5%, respectively, while DXY is up 0.8%. Crypto markets maintain their correlations to traditional markets, albeit with a lower beta. BTC and ETH have been trading flat over the past day, ranging between $16.5k – 17.0k and $1.15k – $1.25k for the past three weeks. The muted volatility reflects indifference in the space – digital asset funds saw inflows in 2022 plummet 95% ($9.1b from 2021 to $433m in 2022), corresponding to a 60% decline in Bitcoin price. Bitcoin funds experienced the worst year since 2018, while Ethereum funds alone saw $400m in outflows. Â
