Bitcoin set to end week 4% lower as Silvergate crash, Fed concerns erode sentiment

Bitcoin ( BTC-USD ) is set to end the week ~4% lower as Silvergate Capital's ( SI ) viability warning fueled fears of a domino effect in the cryptocurrency market. Risk appetite was also hit by ongoing concerns over the Federal Reserve's policy path. The Federal Reserve will likely raise its policy rate to a level higher than it projected late last year, given still hot economic data that point to continued inflationary pressures. The top crypto fell to an over two-week low on Friday, remaining firmly below $24K for the most part of this week. The overall crypto market cap currently stands at $1.03T, down 3.8% over Thursday, according to CoinMarketCap .

Mastercard and Visa are said to have paused forging new relationships with crypto firms, owing to recent high-profile failures in the sector.
