Coinbase, a major cryptocurrency exchange, witnessed a significant outflow of 17,000 BTC, marking the second-largest withdrawal in a week, marked by Bitcoin's price volatility and institutional interest.

Coinbase Sees Major Bitcoin Withdrawals Amid Price Volatility and Institutional Interest

The Coinbase cryptocurrency exchange recently experienced a massive outflow of 17,000 BTC, the second-largest outflow in a week of volatile BTC price action.

According to CryptoQuant, Coinbase experienced two massive outflows this week, totaling 16,800 and 17,000 BTC. It speculates that this may be due to institutional purchases or spot ETFs.

These large outflows could be due to various factors, including institutional buying. The introduction of the Spot ETF has increased institutional interest in Bitcoin. These investors typically buy large amounts of Bitcoin from exchanges and transfer them to wallets.

The massive outflows coincided with a significant drop in Bitcoin's price, which fell to almost $65,000. This price movement reflects a pullback from recent highs as investors and traders reassess their positions in the cryptocurrency market.

As the market digests this significant outflow, all eyes will be on Bitcoin's price and Coinbase's next moves. What happens next after the massive outflows from Coinbase is unknown.

Bitcoin Slides Amid Diminishing ETF Demand and Tightening Monetary Policy

Bitcoin price falls Bitcoin, the first and largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, fell due to falling demand for dedicated U.S. exchange-traded funds and declining bets on looser Federal Reserve monetary policy. The digital asset fell as much as 7%, hitting a low of $65,050 for the first time since March 24, before recouping some of the losses.

This year's sharp cryptocurrency surge appears to be fading as U.S. price pressures prompt investors to reduce bets on Fed interest rate cuts, raising Treasury rates and the dollar. Bitcoin has dropped nearly 10% since its high of $73,798 in mid-March.

On Monday, investors withdrew a net of $86 million from the ten ETFs, which have raised nearly $12 billion since their inception on January 11.
