Over the past weekend, Bitcoin’s (BTC) value fluctuated below $43,000 and experienced a notable decline when the sun rose in Asia this morning, dropping to a low of $41,718. Its price has since slightly rebounded and is currently trading around $42,305, marking a 1.06% decrease over 24 hours. This fall in Bitcoin’s price occurred despite recent net inflows into Bitcoin spot ETFs and Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart has attributed this drop to a combination of factors, including speculation on ETF approval and a shift in investments from GBTC to other ETFs or exposures.
Similarly, Ethereum (ETH) also witnessed a drop in value, fluctuating and falling to a low of $2,470. Its price has since marginally recovered, currently trading at $2,497, which marks a 2.54% decrease in the last 24 hours.
