Crypto Gains Amid Banking Concerns
The crypto market has added 1.4% in the past 24 hours to $1.18 trillion. The positive momentum can be tied to a new wave of concerns about banks following Moody’s downgrade of ten mid-sized US banks and an unexpected Italian windfall tax.

Bitcoin could maintain a negative correlation with bank stocks’ performance, benefiting from their downturn. However, without actual industry bankruptcies, this is akin to a knee-jerk reflex with a short-lived impact.
