Although in the short term, such a plummet in value may have a negative impact, the crash will help those that survive to become even stronger.

We are currently experiencing the biggest crypto crash in history, with the crypto Fear and Greed index having slipped into “extreme fear” category. However, it’s not all doom and gloom.

Coins such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana gained in their prices in the last 24 hours. Equity markets, too, recorded some gains including Nasdaq, the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average.

It’s worth noting that various coins, including Bitcoin, were heavily inflated in a bubble over the last two years, so a crash of this enormity was bound to happen. With investors dumping assets in response to high inflation and the semi-collapse of the Celsius network driving the downward spiral, I think only the best fundamentally strong crypto projects will survive this bear market, as it's proving to be.
