Bitcoin Slumps on Hawkish Fed Comments
Bitcoin's price dropped by 2.5% to around $77,588 after Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh delivered a hawkish keynote at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium.
The speech increased expectations for a rate hike, causing a nine-day streak of inflows into U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs to come to an end.
A total of $202 million flowed out of these funds on the same day as the speech, likely due to investors taking profits or repositioning their portfolios.
