“According to the market cap, the top cryptocurrencies are also running red over the past day. The situation is due to the ongoing war crisis between Russia and Ukraine affecting the economy, hiking the inflation rates. We could see a lot of high volatility in the crypto market this month due to the war tension,” Patel said.
