In the past three weeks, 700,000 Bitcoins have been moved to over-the-counter (OTC) desks, a platform favored by miners. The move coincides with the approval of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). OTC desks are where large Bitcoin trades occur directly between parties, and are often used by miners and large investors to conduct large volumes of transactions. The significant shift of Bitcoin to over-the-counter trading desks could indicate strategic moves by miners in response to the approval of a Bitcoin ETF. Miners' caution in utilizing OTC desks may also indicate concerns about market conditions, potentially affecting broader investor sentiment and leading to a more uncertain price trajectory. Additionally, this significant move away from traditional exchanges may limit the direct visibility of these transactions on the public market, which may result in increased price volatility and unpredictability.
Additionally, as the halving date approaches, the potential for miners to generate fees decreases further, which may also have a negative impact on the price of BTC. At press time, BTC was trading at $51,847.69, down 0.26% in the past 24 hours.
