Yes, it very well could... though perhaps an exaggerated leading indicator of risk appetite. There is a bubble of global liquidity that is searching for the easiest outlet... it seems to have found it now in ICOs and cryptocurrency.

Interesting,I think a lot of us that came through a few crashes take these crypto's with a large pinch of salt.

Well, whether it’s a bubble or not Facebook decided to play it safe and banned the ads of cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, initial coin offerings (ICOs) and binary options across its network and partnering sites. (https://www.forexbrokerz.com/news/Facebook-bans-cryptocurrency-ICO-binary-options-ads)
According to the new company policy, “ads that promote financial products and services that are frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices, such as binary options, initial coin offerings and cryptocurrency“ are prohibited. The ban will apply to all platforms of the company, including Facebook, Audience Network that places ads on third party apps, and Instagram.
There were a lot of scammers looking for gullible people on FB, I am not surprised they did this.

On Bitcoin and the new futures markets for it, Trader/analyst Gregory Mannarino says, “Right now, Wall Street with its hand on Bitcoin, means to me that it’s going to be gamed. (Bitcoin) It’s very thinly traded, it’s not widely held. Very few people actually hold this, and the bulk of this is held by very few. So, to game Bitcoin through the exchanges, someone out here with deep pockets, like a bank with unlimited fiat currency, could run the biggest pump and dump the world has ever seen with regard to Bitcoin. They are going to play it using the futures market. Wall Street is going to game this. How do we know this? Wall Street games everything.”
