The CoinDesk Market Index is a broad-based index designed to measure the market capitalization weighted performance of the digital asset market subject to minimum trading and exchange eligibility requirements.
In May, we began to see some slight weakness across the asset class due to the macro headwinds of rising interest rate expectations, as market expectations for interest rates repriced higher and for longer, as the U.S. 2-year yield increased ~30bps and the U.S. treasury yield curve eliminated rate cuts expectations for the rest of the year.
