The cryptocurrency market got spooked further with US inflation rate reaching a 40-year high of 8.6 per cent and fell on Monday.
The global crypto market capitalisation crashed by 6.63 per cent to $1.04 trillion as of 8.50 am. However, the global crypto volume due to increased liquidations was up by 28.47 per cent to $94.06 billion, as per Coinmarketcap data.
Meanwhile, Zerodha’s founder Nithin Kamath has said that the introduction of crypto tax from April 1, 2022, indirectly saved investors who would have bought the dip in crypto prices only to see their losses deepen in the coming months.
One of the major causes of destruction of wealth for stock market investors is buying in the dip, meaning investors trying to average down a stock whose price is falling. “I think many Indian crypto investors accidentally got lucky due to TDS and Tax on Crypto announcement this budget in Feb. Activity & participation dropped significantly immediately. If not, many could have potentially been trapped trying to buy the dip and then averaging down,” said Kamath in a social media post.
