Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins experienced significant declines due to the US government shutdown and diminished expectations for the Federal Reserve’s December interest rate decision.
However, as lockdowns ended and expectations for a Fed rate cut rose, the market recovered and entered the new year.
Bitcoin, which fell as low as $80,000 on Friday, has climbed above $86,000, and altcoins have also recovered slightly.
Amidst doubts about whether this rally will continue, CoinShares released its weekly crypto report and said it had seen $1.94 billion in outflows in the past week.
“Cryptocurrency investment products saw outflows of $1.94 billion last week, bringing the four-week total to $4.92 billion, the third largest outflow since 2018.”
