Why It's Important: Still, many users criticized the fact that the outage occurred at a time when the crypto market was in the middle of a sharp downturn.
US inflation data sent markets into turmoil as trader sentiment weakened following disappointing CPI numbers. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) plunged from ahead of $22,000 to a low of $20,062 on Tuesday, followed by Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and several other leading cryptocurrencies.
Funny how your problems always seem to occur during sell-offs and rallies…
