"Year-End Dreams in the Crypto Market Turned into a Bloody Collapse"

Decline in the Crypto Market in 2023

As we approach the end of this year, digital asset treasures, altcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and seasonal strength have failed to support market prices. Some Digital Asset Trusts (DATs) are now at risk of forced liquidation due to their market values falling below their Net Asset Value (NAV).

Liquidation Fluctuations in October

The $19 billion wave of liquidation that marked October significantly weakened market depth. The subsequent recovery was mainly supported by the closing of short positions, rather than new demand.

Market Pressure and Future Expectations

However, potential opportunities that may arise at the end of the exhaustion process could be noteworthy for investors.
