Bitcoin has fallen more than 20% from its peak after getting approval for a spot ETF

After the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission decided to approve a Bitcoin spot ETF, Bitcoin has fallen more than 20% from its three-year high of $49,000 reached on January 11th. This is because investors who bought in anticipation of the U.S. approving a spot ETF sold off their Bitcoins after approval was confirmed.
 
Analysts at Deutsche Bank said that nearly $4 billion flowed into new spot Bitcoin ETFs, particularly those operated by BlackRock and Fidelity, but $2.8 billion of it came out of Grayscale's funds. Grayscale is now an ETF and had previously dominated the regulated Bitcoin investment market. Deutsche Bank also stated another factor contributing to the fall in Bitcoin prices was bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX selling assets.
