Market situation last week

In the third week of 2024 (15/01 – 21/01), Bitcoin experienced a significant decline after the long-awaited approval of the Bitcoin ETF following 10 years of anticipation. The previous week saw Bitcoin’s price briefly surpass $49,000, but shortly after, there was a substantial correction, with the price dropping to $40,300 by the end of the week. This price reduction is likely attributed to selling pressure after the news and conversion pressure from Grayscale’s GBTC.

The sharp decline in Bitcoin had a cascading effect on various Altcoins, causing a widespread downturn. Notable events during the week included a series of Airdrop events on Manta Network and the staking activities of AigenLayer and Pyth.
