The crypto market is plunging into a global downtrend, says Vitalik Buterin
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said in an interview with Bloomberg that the crypto winter has begun in the crypto market.
However, according to Buterin, there is a positive factor in the decline of cryptocurrencies. The global downtrend helps clear the market of low-quality and unreliable projects, the developer explained.
“During the crypto winter, many projects fall apart and it becomes clear who is focused on a long-term result, who has a clear development plan and a reliable team,” Buterin said.
