Bitcoin has fallen below the $60,000 mark, reaching its lowest level in over five weeks, according to analysis from Deutsche Bank. The cryptocurrency's decline is attributed to a confluence of factors including a hawkish stance from the Federal Reserve, significant outflows from Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, and a reallocation of capital towards investments in artificial intelligence.
Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, also saw a decline, falling more than 2%. The broader economic outlook and ETF outflows were cited as weighing on the largest cryptocurrency.
