Crypto week at a glance: Bitcoin slips below $30,000; Germany issues crypto tax guidelines
Bitcoin fell back below $30,000 after a modest climb Thursday. Bitcoin has been floating across $30,000 over the last few days as crypto and stock markets have struggled to recover from multiple losses for the past few weeks. This price drop comes as the global financial markets have entered bear market territory for the first time since early 2020. There are many contributing factors to the decline in the Bitcoin price. Some include geopolitical crises, rising inflation and shifting US monetary policy. These essential factors have continued to drive extra short-term volatility in the stock and crypto markets worldwide.
