Bitcoin (BTC) has faced substantial volatility due to macroeconomic factors and industry events.
The German government’s ongoing sale of seized Bitcoin has significantly impacted market sentiment this month, pushing BTC below $55,000, a level unseen for months amid increasing inflows into spot ETFs.
Germany triggered widespread selling and altcoin movements. As of now, Bitcoin trades at $55,219, down 3% in the last 24 hours.
