There is no reason to believe that the two events are related. People like to speculate about all kinds of things.
People not only speculate, they will then build an article around it then send it to the crypto world in other to enhance their own bottom line through clicks to their amateur websites while people like Op would go there to read and create a thread about it thereby giving it more viewership at the same time causing more panic which would further drive down the price of cryptos in the market. Its high time people began to try and understand several events will happen and they are unrelated at the same time they don't depend on each other timeline to function.
