Cryptocurrency Market
The cryptocurrency market still is caught in a downturn over the past week. The Panic and Greed Index has remained between 20-22 while the market remains in a state of extreme panic. Bitcoin price continued to slump over the past few days and even repeatedly tested towards the bottom end of the range after two failed attempts to break $36,000, once falling to a new 7-day low of $31,591.18 on the 14th. Ethereum, which is also favored by many analysts and management companies to replace Bitcoin in the future, also failed to get out of the shadow of Bitcoin trend and fell for days and fell below $1,900 on the 14th to a low of $1,864.52.


Many analysts speculate that the recent plunge may be related to today’s unlocking of the Grayscale Bitcoin Investment Fund. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) is currently the largest traded crypto coin fund, and the current unlocking involves 40,000 bitcoins worth about $1.5 billion. And the single largest unlocking would release 16,240 bitcoins worth more than $550 million. Once unlocked, investors can choose to sell at the current price or continue to hold. If investors choose to sell, it may produce downward pressure on bitcoin prices once again and trigger another price dive in the short term.
