As Bitcoin dropped below $50,000, analysts expect more outflows that would potentially drive prices down to $42,000.
Cryptocurrency assets started seeing significant outflows last week amid growing fears of a recession in the United States and geopolitical concerns, according to a new report by the crypto investment firm CoinShares.
The week of July 28 to Aug. 3 saw digital asset investment products posting outflows for the first time in four weeks totalling $528 million, CoinShares reported in its latest digital asset fund flows report published on Aug. 5.
CoinShares noted that the latest crypto sell-off is believed to be a reaction to fears of a recession in the US, geopolitical uncertainty and consequent broader market liquidations across the majority of assets.
