Surprisingly, the banking crisis did not affect Bitcoin’s bull run as it led to a positive trend reversal for the digital asset causing it to gain $26 billion in market cap and hit a 9-month high of $28,554.07 before retracing back down to its current price of $27,851..
Reasons Behind The Rally
The banking crisis is one of the major factors driving this recent BTC rally as many investors started losing trust in traditional banking systems after Silvergate Bank collapsed along with Silicon Valley and Signature banks despite efforts from US Feds to support them by providing funds for depositors’ demands.. Analysts also alarmed people about how a bank run could crash 190 US banks which further exacerbated fears among investors who then sought refuge in Bitcoin’s store of value and digital gold status during times of global financial turmoil..
Altcoin Performance
While BTC has been soaring on the charts other coins have not seen such success today with Ethereum being an example as it lost against USD instead of gaining today while other coins like BNB ,XRP ,ADA ,MATIC ,DOGE ,BUSD ,SHIB <C are all down within 24hours time frame but WBTC got 3.49 % gain within 24hours & 27 .29 % gain within 7 day’s time frame .Despite these losses many altcoins have still managed to post impressive gains over a seven-day period .
Future Outlook
