 <p>Despite the positive influx, the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="cryptocurrency" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/cryptocurrency.html">cryptocurrency</a> market encountered challenges, particularly for Grayscale’s converted GBTC fund. The fund witnessed its most substantial daily outflow to date, totaling $640.5 million. This resulted in a net outflow of $76 million as Bitcoin’s price dipped below $40,000 for the first time in seven weeks. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $39,227.</p>
