Some analysts believe that bitcoin led the market down this time because of the bad news related to the regulatory rules of bitcoin and stable currency in the world's major economies.On April 18, Li Bo, vice governor of the people's Bank of China, said at the Boao Forum that he was studying the regulatory rules of bitcoin and stable currency. In the future, if any stable currency wants to become a widely used payment instrument, it must be subject to strict supervision, just like banks or quasi bank financial institutions.

In view of the current market situation, Fidelity Investment released a report called understanding bitcoin.In this report, it is pointed out that the price of bitcoin should grow much faster than that of its network participants.Bitcoin is a legitimate store of value, more scarce than gold, and demand is likely to grow exponentially.Compared with the market demand, bitcoin value is still in its infancy, and there is still a lot of value-added space in the future.

As a result of the large-scale decline of the market, more and more capital is turning to other value areas of the blockchain. There is relevant evidence that derivatives such as financial bonds, funds and digital asset NFT (non homogenous token) based on digital asset trading are growing rapidly.

Therefore, ZB Research Institute believes that the mainstream digital asset trading is transferring to more digital derivatives, which is the fundamental reason for the decline of the cryptocurrency market this time.While the encrypted money market is still at an early stage, the overall global transaction demand is still increasing exponentially. After eliminating the market bubble caused by favorable news in the short term, the growth quality of the encrypted money market headed by bitcoin will be more solid.
