History

Historical Context

The 2018 cryptocurrency crash began in January, with Bitcoin's price dropping about 65% by February and ultimately falling to around $3,200 by December, marking an 80% decline from its January peak. This downturn, worse than the dot-com bubble, highlighted the volatile nature of cryptocurrencies and investor sentiment, which often leads to cyclical market behaviors, impacting exchanges and investors globally.
