Bitcoin&#39;s price approached a high of nearly $70,000, with the market&#39;s total capitalization exceeding $3T.</p><p>However, 2022 saw the market taking a downturn. Accompanied by various negative news, by the end of &#39;22, Bitcoin&#39;s price dipped to around $60,000, and the total market cap also dropped to $800B.</p><p>Hopes of a rebound were continually met with further declines, making it increasingly clear that the bear market had truly arrived. Various metrics continued to deteriorate. The once-hot sectors like DeFi, NFTs, high-yield mining activities, and numerous IDOs/IEOs began cooling down and stagnating in some cases.</p><h2 id="header-1">Top 10 Exchanges Spot Monthly Trading Volume Peaked at $2 Trillion, Now at $300 Billion, a Drop of More Than 80%</h2><p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/dbc80062f08149c6bcc306771e6c3aa2.jpeg" /></p><p>In a bear market, besides the decline in coin prices, trading volumes also see significant reductions.</p><p>In Nov 2021, the top 10 spot exchanges hit a trading volume of over $2 trillion, with the volumes in the latter half of the year consistently exceeding $1 trillion. However, as 2021 came to a close, a notable decline began to emerge. By Aug 2022, monthly trading volumes dipped below $750 billion for the first time. Then, in December, impacted by factors such as the FTX crash and the overall market decline, volumes slumped to $420 billion, representing merely 20% of its peak.</p><p>Entering 2023, the prolonged bear market led to an even more subdued atmosphere in crypto space. While there was a slight increase in volume during the first quarter due to Bitcoin&#39;s rally, the monthly trading volume from the second quarter onwards consistently remained below $400 billion.</p><h2 id="header-2">The Bear Market Has Posed a Serious Challenge to the Growth and Viability of Crypto Organizations</h2><p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/69088a1c93c341fbb3622de7d0646256.jpeg" /></p><p>Starting with <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/coins/terra/overview" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Luna</a>, then <a href="https://tokeninsight.com/en/capitals/three-arrows-capital" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Three Arrows Capital</a>, then FTX, who will be the last domino to fall?</p><h2 id="header-3">If FTX 2.0 Can Resume, Isn&#39;t It Possible That Users (Me) Will Soon Get Money Back?</h2><p><img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/4152daf3f15c4343abfd49c5a8fa34e0.jpeg" /></p><p>FTX&#39;s liquidation and reorganization seems a long way off in comparison to FTX&#39;s bankruptcy in a week&#39;s time.
