Bitcoin Cash (BCH) was one of the hardest-hit digital assets in the market crash of May and this led to a plunge in its market value.
Bitcoin Cash remains a top 30 digital asset by market capitalization in June 2022. BCH closed the fifth month of the year with a market value of approximately $3.89 billion, according to Be[In] Crypto Research.
Whilst this figure seems high due to the plummet in the value of other cryptocurrencies, this number was a 28% decline from its market cap on the first day of the month. On May 1, Bitcoin Cash saw an impressive trading volume of $4.14 billion which corresponded to a market capitalization of around $5.42 billion.

Some of the factors attributed to the downturn of the market were the consistent hike in interest rates to help curb inflation, the fallout from Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, and the lack of risk appetite for digital assets by investors.
On May 28, the number of large transactions involving BCH reached a peak of 154,840 at a price of $176.61.
