Crypto market is always a volatile hub, as the slightest bump in the scenario could send the price of the digital assets through the roof or down in dumps. Following the scenario, it is unsurprising that something like China’s real estate giant could impact the world of digital assets. Investors globally are trying to hold their breath as the real-estate giant tries to avoid a default on its debt. Notably, experts in the cryptosphere are expecting a potential collapse that could significantly affect the digital assets industry. On the other hand, some of the experts are also concerned whether the industry will witness a crash.

Crypto market is always risky

Since the beginning of this year, the crypto market has gained mainstream attention with notable gains. However, witnessing gains, the market also faced a crash due to China’s crypto outbreak. In such a scenario, several newbies lost their hard earned funds, and understood that they should not invest more than they can afford. Undoubtedly, digital assets are highly volatile and make larger swings with no notice. Hence the risk in the industry continues due to the scant regulation for crypto firms, investors were left without protection.

Evergrande had narrowly avoided default

With $300 billion worth of liabilities, Evergrande has tracted mainstream attention in the financial world. According to a report issued by Bloomberg, the Chinese real-estate giant had narrowly avoided default again by paying overdue interest on some of its debt. Indeed, a business default could hurt more than just the nation’s economy.

Notably, Evergrande missed initial deadlines last month, later had a 30-days grace period.

Such Chinese business’ default could significantly affect the crypto market. However, experts find it difficult to measure what exactly the effect we will witness. According to Laith Khalaf, the head of investment analysis at  AJ Bell, digital currency markets are not being propelled by events that happen in the browder economy. Hence, a default by a bigger institution should not materially affect the price of such assets. Moreover, Khalaf deemed that blind bullishness has continued to push the value of digital assets, and such a default would not knock that.

On the other hand, Susannah Streeter, senior analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said defaults by Chinese real-estate giants would potentially hit the construction and finance sectors, and affect demand for raw materials. Such scenario, coils knock on effect to other coins and tokens that are vulnerable to overall sentiment in the world of finance. However, whether or not the market will plunge, it would not necessarily be a novel event.
