Bitcoin Plunge: FTX's Collapse Comparison Sparks Fear in Crypto Community
Bitcoin's value suffered its largest single-day drop since FTX's collapse, plunging over 8% to below $62,000. This decline, fueled by substantial outflows from spot BTC ETFs, marks a 15% pullback from last week's record highs. Contributing factors include excessive leverage, Ethereum's influence, and negative BTC ETF inflows. Ether (ETH) also declined following last week's upgrade, with uncertainty surrounding SEC approval for an ether spot ETF. The market's overheated conditions and concerns about potential rate cuts from the Federal Reserve add to investor unease. Rising dollar index and Treasury yields further dampen the appeal of risk assets like cryptocurrencies.
