Key Points:
Bitcoin’s price is nearing a two-week low, fueled by declining inflows into dedicated exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and concerns about a potentially less favorable environment for speculative investments due to decreasing scope for US interest-rate cuts.
The digital asset’s price has been falling almost daily since reaching a record high of nearly $73,798 on March 14. As of Wednesday, Bitcoin was trading at around $63,165.
This decline comes amid uncertainties about whether inflation surpassing targets will lead Federal Reserve policymakers to reduce rate cut projections. At the same time, demand for US spot-Bitcoin ETFs, which launched with much fanfare on Jan. 11, has cooled.
These products have attracted a net inflow of $11.6 billion, but investors have started to withdraw from them. Some of the recent struggles of Bitcoin are linked to the Fed’s outlook. The wider crypto market has lost about $420 billion since peaking at $2.9 trillion last week.

Tokens such as Ether, BNB, and Dogecoin are also experiencing losses. According to K33 Research, the liquidation of bullish bets using derivatives could continue, posing a potential obstacle for a quick recovery in the digital-asset market.
The current mood is downbeat, emphasized by this week’s slump in crypto-linked stocks, including Coinbase Global Inc., MicroStrategy Inc., and Monex Group.
