Bitcoin Price Volatility

Meanwhile, traditional bitcoin investors are in the news again after popular crypto analyst Loomdart revealed that there might fresh price volatility on bitcoin because major institutional investors are about to cash out. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust Corporation (GBTC) which manages over $25 billion in assets is about to end its periodic year next month. 

However, this year’s closure date coincides with the period when its buy-in price currently trades at a discount to the spot price. Hence, this negative GBTC premium for this about-to-end year has been a hot debate in the crypto community. Usually, GBTC locks up investor funds for some period. 

Then, they release it at specified times to allow investors to cash out as determined by when they invested. It will be fascinating to observe the effect of funds release (scheduled for the 19th of next month) by GBTC and the negative GBTC premium on the bitcoin price movement.

Analysts believe that if the bitcoin price can surge past $43,000 from its current price of about $41,000 then, it might likely reach $50,000 soon and that 16,500 BTC which will be released next month would be worth a lot more.
