🚀‘To the Moon’… said the Indian Space Research Organization as they successfully completed the Chandrayaan 3 landing. One giant leap for the Moon but one big slump for the Crypto market. BTC reached a low of $25K and ETH followed with a drop to $1600, bringing FUD to the fore. Investments were the years lowest with a meager $349 million across 64 funding rounds, approx 50% lower than the month before.
