Quick Take

- A major ramification of an illiquid market can push direction in either way.
- The banking crisis and closure of USD payment rails, crypto banks such as Silvergate and Signature Bank, could be a net benefit in the long run, as it could encourage more people to take self-custody of their Bitcoin when directly buying from an exchange.
