Bitcoin has crashed 68% from its peak

Digital currency prices have crashed massively since their peak in November sparking a new “crypto winter” — a period of prolonged depressed prices.
But Edith Yeung, a general partner at Race Capital, said it will be a “warm winter” because it will push out people from the industry who were there for short-term gain.
However, the crypto market has been plagued by liquidity issues and the bankruptcy of major players including Celsius and hedge fund Three Arrows Capital.

The crypto winter will be a ‘warm’ one, says venture capital firm
A crypto winter is here but it’s going to be a “warm winter,” according to one crypto bull.

Bitcoin may have fallen by more than half from record levels, but “there’s so much more than that,” said Edith Yeung, a general partner at Race Capital.

“In some sense, the ‘warm winter’ is basically going to push out everybody who really [wants to be] there for short-term gain,” she told CNBC’s Street Signs Asia last week, highlighting that cryptocurrency is a long-term play.

Yeung said she remains bullish long-term on digital tokens because its appeal lies in the fact that “crypto is really about Web3.”


Web3 has become a buzzword among those in the crypto industry. Proponents say it’s the next generation of the internet, one that is “decentralized” and not owned by a few big technology giants.


The term crypto winter refers to a prolonged period of depressed digital coin prices in the market.

Cryptocurrencies have lost around $1.9 trillion in value since the height of a massive rally in 2021.

Bitcoin, the world’s biggest digital coin, is about 68% off its all-time high of nearly $69,000 in November.dhaka


Advocates suggest that crypto and blockchain technology could be a big part of that. For example, a Web3 service may run on a particular blockchain such as ethereum or solana. Users may be required to hold tokens associated with those blockchains in order to use a particular service or even have ownership in that app or company.
