The crypto market has had a rough time these last few weeks due to the fallout from the FTX debacle. The entire crypto market is down from its high of $3 Trillion exactly a year ago to currently holding onto a market cap of roughly $1 trillion. The risk-off trade and higher interest rates globally are attributed to the loss, across all asset classes, crypto was no different.

Some major developments have occurred in the last few months, from the Ethereum Merge to Elons Twitter buyout pumping Doge to Meta(Facebook) planning to bring NFTs to Instagram- just to name a few. Closer to home you can even now shop at Pick and Pay and use Bitcoin.
