Two separate Bitcoin (BTC) transfers from Coinbase

Possible reasons for Bitcoin’s 2% price dip
Following the news of the popular crypto lending platform BlockFi’s plans to liquidate its business, Bitcoin’s price reacted with a sharp 1.9% dip. Since January, the company has been trying to sell its cryptocurrency platform and about 700,000 customer accounts. BlockFi points to regulatory difficulties as the primary driver of this choice. These efforts, however, have not been successful. Back in November of last year, BlockFi declared bankruptcy.
BlockFi is one of the many cryptocurrency firms that has shut down since the start of the year. Terraform Labs, its Luna token, and UST stablecoin all collapsed in 2022, followed by Three Arrows Capital in the summer. Alameda Research and the FTX exchange, which owned it, shut down in November. Genesis and Digital Currency Group are also on the list, not forgetting Voyager which filed for bankruptcy in July 2022.
