Prominent cryptocurrency analyst Peter Schiff has expressed concerns over potential turbulence in the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) market and predicts that significant sell-offs could destabilize the market.
Schiff’s cautious comments come amid recent fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin, sparking debates about the future of digital currencies as investment assets. He highlighted the risks associated with Bitcoin ETFs, noting that with Bitcoin trading near $54,000, over 70% of ETF investors could face losses.
