Explaining the situation, the CoinDCX team said that, “..the price crash in cryptocurrencies and equity markets were primary drivers, which led to a massive shake-up in near-term confidence of risk assets. On a longer-term, however, support for the crypto industry remains strong, with the continued entry of legacy institutions into the sector as a sign of industry's ongoing march towards maturation.”
