Cryptocurrency Price Prediction: Here’s What’s Driving the Market in Q3 2022

It is important to remember that buying cryptocurrencies is risky and capital gains are not guaranteed.

After a terrible second quarter, major cryptocurrencies are on the rise. Bitcoin is up 35% and Ethereum is up 110% since mid-June. The current price rally is partly driven by institutional interest in cryptocurrencies.

We have seen several important developments in the past month, such as the fact that BlackRock has partnered with cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase to offer exposure to its institutional clients Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Brevan Howard, a London-based hedge fund, has also raised over $1 billion for a new crypto fund.
