3. Russia-Ukraine war.

First of all, the main reasons for inflation are so widespread. This is due to a huge increase in energy prices. Russia is the third largest oil producer and exporter in the world. When Russia’s halt in world energy supply has resulted in a huge loss in output.

It can be seen that the ongoing war between the two countries has a huge impact on people around the world as well. Not just the crypto world.

However, in the future, we may see the return of higher crypto prices again after every country around the world deals with the primary cause of inflation.
