It was a mixed Saturday for the crypto market. Bitcoin (BTC) extended its losing streak to seven sessions with a modest 0.12% loss. Cardano (ADA), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) rose for the first time in seven sessions.
The broader-based gains came despite the crypto market getting hit with news of Three Arrows Capital (3AC) filing for bankruptcy and Voyager digital suspending withdrawals.
Relative to the losses at the turn of the quarter, however, the gains were modest, with downside risks firmly in place.
Market headwinds include fears of a recession, sentiment towards monetary policy, and the evolving regulatory landscape, though the regulatory environment could improve for some jurisdictions.
