The cryptocurrency market has taken a hit, with Bitcoin's price plummeting to a one-month low. The decline is attributed to significant outflows from digital-asset investment products, amounting to $600 million, the highest since March. This exodus is largely driven by persistent inflation concerns, which have led traders to reduce their expectations for Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts this year. This poses a significant challenge for speculative investments like cryptocurrencies.
