As the cryptocurrency market continues to come crashing down, experts say it underscores a need for stronger consumer protection.

This crash kicked off last month, as the U.S. Federal Reserve signalled its intention to hike interest rates to combat inflation, prompting investors to sell off risky assets like crypto holdings. But it's not the only factor that explains the recent collapse in the crypto market.

But in May, the value of TerraUSD, a popular stablecoin, dropped from around US$1 to less than 10 cents. As of June 18, that cryptocurrency is worth less than a penny. While crypto exchange platforms may offer services similar to what a bank offers, Clements notes that there are far fewer protections. Unlike bank deposits, which are insured by the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation, crypto deposits have no insurance, meaning that all of your assets could be gone if your crypto platform shuts down.CALLS FOR BETTER CRYPTO REGULATION

Why people invest their hard earned money in cryptos... knowing that it's not a commodity based on standard economic indicators. There is nothing like a free lunch 🤔. Don't take shortcuts.

According to the geniuses at CTV crypto which has no intrinsic value is tanking because Central Banks are raising interest rates. Can they explain what exactly gives this ethereal product value?

Because it was all buzz and no substance.
