ABD Ekonomik Kurtarma Paketi
Covid 19 virüsünün ekonomi üzerinde yarattığı yıkıcı etkileri azaltmak üzere ABD’nin attığı en önemli adımlardan biri olarak; Cumhuriyetçiler ve Demokratlar, 25 Mart tarihi itibariyle, ABD tarihinin en büyük ekonomik paketi üzerinde anlaşmaya vardıklarını duyurdular.
$2 Trilyon USD büyüklüğündeki ekonomik paketin, çok kısa bir süre içerisinde Kongre’nin onayından geçmesi bekleniyor. Bu ekonomik paketin, kripto para dünyası açısından önemi oldukça çarpıcı olabilirdi. Zira paket içeriğindeki yardımların, dijital cüzdanlar üzerinden dağıtılması planlanmaktaydı.

Virüsün Kripto Piyasasına Etkisi
Tüm dünyayı etkileyen panik havası piyasalarda gözle görülür bir düşüşe sebep oldu. Bu dönemde S&P, %25 gibi bir düşüş gerçekleştirerek tarihi bir harekete imza attı. Sadece bu veri bile ne kadar büyük bir korku atmosferinin yaşandığını anlamamızı sağlıyor.
Panik ortamını yatıştırmak için FED’in aldığı acil faiz indirimi kararı ve küresel piyasayı $1.5 Trilyon ile besleyecek olması da mevcut durumu iyileştirmeye yetmedi.
Bu dönemde kripto paraların geç de olsa bu atmosfere kapıldığını ve %50’nin üzerinde değer kaybettiğini görüyoruz. Özellikle bu zamana kadar herhangi bir yatırım aracıyla korelasyonu tespit edilemeyen Bitcoin için bu hareket önem taşıyor.

Tüm dünyada kripto para piyasalarının hızla geliştiğini görüyoruz fakat halen geleneksel sermaye piyasaları yanında toplam hacim oldukça küçük. Bitcoin ve sonrasında altcoin olarak da nitelendirilen farklı kripto paraların hayatamıza girmesi bunların ticaretinin yapıldığı borsaların gelişmesine ve milyonlarca insanın dahil olduğu bir yeni dünya pazarının oluşmasına liderlik etti.
İlk dönemde aşırı yüksek dalgalanmalar bazı yatırımcıların iştahını kabartırken bazılarının da bu piyasalardan kaçmasına neden oldu. Pazarlar gelişip derinlikleri arttıkça aşırı dalgalanmaların yerini çok daha oturmuş sağlam piyasalar alıyor.
Kripto para piyasasının hareketi teknoloji dünyasının aslında yakından tanıdığı bir seyir. 1995–2000 döneminde hızlı yükselen Nasdaq endeksi 1.500’lerden 5.000 üzerine ve hatta zirvede 7.000…
