Bitcoin (BTC USD) crash reasons explained: Crypto market's recent 48% plunge differs from past crashes, driven by economic pressures like inflation and a strong dollar, not industry failures. Despite significant losses and ETF outflows, core infrastructure remains stable. Analysts suggest sentiment, not structural issues, fuels the selloff, with stablecoins potentially key to recovery.
