BTC Price Dips 2.11% Amid $42B Trading Surge as ETF Holdings Hit 7% of Supply

Bitcoin (BTCUSDT) experienced a 2.11% price decrease over the past 24 hours, opening at $89,820.19 and currently trading at $87,925.11 on Binance. The recent downturn is attributed to defensive trading and price consolidation ahead of the new year, with traders exhibiting increased hedging activity following a sharp rejection from the $90,000 level and long-term holders halting their selloffs. Heightened trading volume, which surged to approximately $42.15 billion, reflects active market participation amid ongoing consolidation. Bitcoin remains the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization at roughly $1.74 trillion, with a circulating supply near 20 million and spot Bitcoin ETFs now holding about 7% of total supply, signaling continued institutional interest.
