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.
Earlier warnings by Schiff pointed out Bitcoin’s decline from its all-time high, both in U.S. dollars and gold, reinforcing his belief in an ongoing bear market.
These sentiments add to discussions on Bitcoin’s stability and investment viability amid current market volatility.
Additionally, Bitcoin’s recent price hovered around $55,000-$56,500 with a trading volume of $40.5 billion. The market downturn coincided with Mt. Gox’s $2.7 billion Bitcoin transfer, amplifying concerns among investors.
Bitcoin’s recent price decline has prompted analysts to revisit market patterns, with CryptoQuant suggesting that the current correction follows a historical trend.
