Bitcoin Price Stays Above $44K Despite Whales Dumping BTC To Coinbase & Binance

Bitcoin, the world’s first-ever digital currency, echoed a sense of frenzy across the crypto landscape on Wednesday following significant whale transfers to CEXs Binance and Coinbase. The transfers promptly gained noteworthy traction within the broader crypto market as they emerged amid a slight dip noted by the token.

Meanwhile, the marginal fall in Bitcoin’s price also aligns with the global crypto market turndown today, as investors eagerly anticipate the release of the U.S. Consumer Confidence data. However, with the anticipation of a Bitcoin spot ETF approval weighing in on the chronicle, the BTC price is expected to recover today’s dip soon, fueling optimism for the token.
