Bitcoin fell to a one-month low today as outflows from digital asset investment products and the prospect of rising long-term borrowing costs in the United States affected the cryptocurrency market.
CoinShares data showed that digital asset investment products had a total outflow of $600 million last week, the highest outflow since March. In addition, inflation data has led traders to lower their expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates this year, which poses a challenge to speculative investments such as cryptocurrencies.
