Renowned cryptocurrency critic Peter Schiff has voiced concerns over potential turmoil in Bitcoin ETFs, foreseeing a significant sell-off that could further destabilize the market.
Schiff’s cautionary remarks come amidst Bitcoin’s recent price fluctuations, sparking debates on the future of digital currencies as investment assets.
Schiff highlights risks surrounding Bitcoin ETFs, noting that with Bitcoin trading near $54,000, over 70% of ETF investors may be facing losses. He predicts that a drop below $38,000 could trigger widespread selling as speculators exit their positions.

These sentiments add to discussions on Bitcoin’s stability and investment viability amid current market volatility.
