It has wiped out more than half of investors' wealth since hitting a lifetime peak of $67,566 in November 2021.
Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus Crypto Exchange, said Bitcoin and the wider crypto markets have been affected by negative sentiment across investor groups given the hike in interest rate and the concerning inflation data globally.
