The prospect of "higher and longer" interest rates is weighing on the cryptocurrency market, with bitcoin posting its biggest monthly drop since the SBF's FTX empire collapsed in November 2022. Bitcoin slumped nearly 16% in April, and the launch of a bitcoin and ether ETF in Hong Kong on Tuesday also failed to generate momentum.
