Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s leading cryptocurrency, continues its bearish trend, remaining below the $68,000 mark and hitting an intraday low of $67,147. Major altcoins like Ethereum (ETH), Dogecoin (DOGE), Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Litecoin (LTC) also edged lower, with the Market Fear & Greed Index at 63 (greed).
However, the decline in BTC may be short-lived, as BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust has become the largest fund for BTC, amassing $20 billion in total assets since its listing earlier this year. This surge suggests significant interest from institutional investors, which could push BTC prices up.
