The Federal Reserve’s hawkish comments and the SEC’s crackdown on centralized staking are to blame for today’s decline in the cryptocurrency market. Centralized exchanges received a warning from Gary Gensler, Paxos received a notice from the SEC, and New York regulators ordered Paxos to stop issuing BUSD. Bitcoin miners saw a 50% increase in revenue, but leading cryptocurrency investors predict further sell-offs. Investors may think about holding off until there are indications that US inflation has peaked or until the Fed announces gradual interest rate increases.
