Bitcoin and wider crypto markets still haunted by the spectre of FTX
Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptos dipped yesterday to levels last seen in June. At one point, the market leader was trading below $25k before finding support and bouncing back to $25,800.
Some analysts say rumours of potential selling pressure resulting from the ongoing FTX court proceedings may have spooked investors.
While BTC bounced back to pre-dip levels, cryptos like ETH, Polygon (MATIC) and Solana (SOL) are still trading in the red over 24 hours.
If a bankruptcy court gives FTX the go-ahead to start selling its crypto holdings, the move may put selling pressure on various cryptocurrencies, particularly alt-coins such as SOL, of which FTX was a large holder.
