Philippines Earthquake Pushes Remittance Corridors Toward Crypto as Markets Sink in Extreme Fear

Philippines Earthquake Pushes Remittance Corridors Toward Crypto as Markets Sink in Extreme Fear

Earthquake hits during a brutal week for crypto

Bitcoin is down 13.2% this week, trading at $63,120. The Fear & Greed index sits at 8 — extreme fear. That's the lowest reading in over a year. Historically, when the index drops below 10, Bitcoin rallies an average of 34% in the following 90 days. The earthquake didn't spark the sell-off; it was already baked in by macro fears over rate cuts and regulation. BTC actually fell just 0.8% on Monday, milder than the prior two weeks' slide. A similar pattern played out after the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake: a brief risk-off blip, then recovery within one to two weeks.

El terremoto golpea durante una semana brutal para las criptomonedas

Bitcoin ha bajado un 13,2% esta semana, cotizando a $63.120. El índice de Miedo y Codicia se sitúa en 8 — miedo extremo. Es la lectura más baja en más de un año. Históricamente, cuando el índice cae por debajo de 10, Bitcoin sube un promedio del 34% en los siguientes 90 días. El terremoto no provocó la venta masiva; ya estaba incorporada por los temores macroeconómicos sobre recortes de tasas y regulación. BTC en realidad cayó solo un 0,8% el lunes, más leve que la caída de las dos semanas anteriores. Un patrón similar se produjo después del terremoto de Turquía-Siria de 2023: un breve sobresalto de aversión al riesgo, luego recuperación en una o dos semanas.

" Note: "$63,120" - in Spanish, thousands separator is period, decimal comma. But the number is $63,120 (sixty-three thousand one hundred twenty). In Spanish: $63.120 (with period as thousands separator). Also "$63,120" in original uses comma as thousands separator? Actually it's $63,120 (comma for thousands). In Spanish, we use period for thousands and comma for decimals. So I'll write "$63.120". Similarly, "$62k" later -> "$62.000". Also "0.8%" becomes "0,8%". "34%" no change.
