TRADERS IN LIMBO OVER BITCOIN SELLOFF
The transfers by the German government caused outrage in the crypto community as Bitcoin slipped nearly 10% to a low of $53,000. Joana Cotar, a German Parliament member, called on the government to stop the ongoing Bitcoin selloff and hold it as a reserve asset. Bitcoin continues to gain strength despite selloff due to buying by spot Bitcoin ETFs. BTC price currently trades more than 2% higher at $57,672. It hit a 24-hour high of $58,131 as Mt.

Buying is recorded on CME and Kraken, which implies higher demand in the US.
