Bitcoin managed a recovery on Wednesday despite a significant sell-off by U.S. Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These funds saw a net outflow of $105 million, equivalent to 1,782 BTC, marking their second consecutive day of outflows.
Following a dip below $58,000, Bitcoin rebounded with a 2.8% increase, trading at $59,659. This recovery comes amidst ongoing challenges for Bitcoin to maintain levels above $60,000.
