Cryptocurrencies remained safe and sound despite the crisis
Throughout the world, the financial market, seen as a whole, is subject to change due to major geopolitical upheavals that characterize world news. But meanwhile, in the cryptocurrency market, major digital assets have remained largely unscathed.
As a result, business organizations and pundits are beginning to think digital assets are a stronger market than traditional asset classes. In particular, they compare these assets to stocks. Thus, cryptocurrencies seem to have the potential to support investors and give them the opportunity to generate income.
In a particularly difficult environment for people who only invest in traditional equities, things could complicate more. It might be time to trust digital currencies. Indeed, according to an expert from the Bank of America (BofA), cash, commodities and cryptocurrencies could have superior performance to those of stocks and bonds.

According to him, there is “a worsening inflation shock, a rate shock that is just beginning and a recession shock that is coming”. In short, according to him, the deterioration of the macroeconomic situation could cause a US recession shock. This situation is all the more alarming since for four decades the FED has been trying to cool high inflation by tightening this policy.
