New York CNN —Crypto’s 14th year in existence was one marred by scandal, bankruptcy, fraud and regulatory squabbling.
Bitcoin, the crypto’s bellwether asset, is up 160% for the year.
“It was the year of crypto’s resiliency,” Kyla Curley, a crypto expert and partner at global advisory StoneTurn, tells CNN.
“Fraud is fraud,” Curley says, “Regardless of the technology or the industry … you cannot stop human nature.
Adding to that bullish sentiment: the bitcoin halving, or, more menacingly, “the halvening.”While it’s often a buy-the-hype-sell-the-news kind of event, the halving does tend to push bitcoin higher.
