What is going on with the crypto market? Sentiment around cryptocurrencies has been bullish since the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and the ensuing US banking crisis. Thus, over the past week, bitcoin gained 24,29% and surpassed $28 000 for the first time since June 2022.

On March 15, Capriole CEO Charles Edwards said that BTC may rise to $100 000 as a result of the reversal. Messari CEO Ryan Selkis holds the same opinion.

ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood called cryptocurrencies a “safe haven” from the financial crisis and blamed regulators for the bankruptcy of SVB. Bernstein’s analysts said that the current instability in traditional financial markets could lead to growth in the crypto sector.
