Expert Analysis (Cem Talu): The surprise loss at Coinbase, combined with shrinking liquidity and trading volumes, is upping volatility and dampening risk appetite. Institutional players are likely to reassess positions, especially in low‑liquidity stablecoins and altcoins where short‑term price swings are expected. In this climate, BTC and ETH remain relative safe havens, but rising fees and heightened volatility will challenge short‑term trading strategies.
