# BTC price crash: Why did it happen? Join Sam Bankman-Fried live on ‘The Market Report’

“The Market Report” with Cointelegraph is live right now! Tune in to watch Cointelegraph host and analyst Benton Yaun alongside resident market experts Jordan Finneseth and Yashu Gola. Today’s menu: the dramatic Bitcoin (BTC) price flash crash to $43,000 on Tuesday.

What caused the crash? Was it market manipulation, leverage liquidations, El Salvador’s Bitcoin Law, the SEC going after Coinbase — or a combination of these factors? This week’s markets news segment will break down the latest news and research to find out.

Next up, Gola and Finneseth will do a dive deep on the most important factors driving the markets during back-to-back expert takes. Gola will explore a correlation between the Bitcoin price crash, the gold market and the U.S. dollar index, while Finneseth takes a closer look at this week’s top altcoin performers.

The Cointelegraph experts will then identify altcoins that stood out this week with insights from Cointelegraph’s Markets Pro, a platform for crypto traders who want to stay one step ahead of the market.

Make sure to stick around for the show’s finale: an exclusive guest interview with billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and CEO of crypto exchange FTX. Bankman-Fried was named a Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2021. The interview will cover recent market movements, nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and assets that have the highest upside potential.
