Over the past few months, the crypto market witnessed a severe downfall, marking the year’s lowest in mid-June. The king of all cryptos’ Bitcoin, also could not evade the effects of the crash and touched its 2022 low of $17,700 on 20 June.

Notably, at the time of writing, BTC traded slightly lower at $23,958 with a market capitalization of $458,062,265,258.
