Investing.com – Bitcoin has deepened its accumulated losses during the worst week for the cryptocurrency since November last year, as the prospect of higher interest rates for a longer period dampens demand for riskier investments in global markets.
This comes in conjunction with widespread criticism of Binance’s move regarding the suspension of withdrawal services in euros due to the complexities existing in the Single European Payments Area (SEPA).
This is not the first time that Binance has faced obstacles in Europe, as its aspirations to expand in the European market were met with many regulatory obstacles, especially in the wake of lawsuits filed against it in the United States.

lowest level in two months
Bitcoin fell by 11.4% in the last 7 days to trade near the $26,000 level, its lowest level in two months. Smaller cryptocurrencies like Ether and XRP also fell.
This comes as long-term US yields are approaching their highest levels in several years, and is part of a global bond sell-off that reflects the risk of a prolonged period of restrictive monetary settings to stifle inflation. Such a backdrop portends the restricted liquidity that would challenge riskier assets such as stocks and cryptocurrencies.
For his part, said market analyst at “IG Australia Pty”, Tony Sycamore: “The market is likely to hope that there will be a pacifist speech from Jackson Hole. I don’t think they will be pessimistic,” according to “Bloomberg” agency.
Sycamore expects the S&P 500 stock index to drop 2% to 3% amid a rise in the 10-year US Treasury yield to exceed 4.33%, with Bitcoin extending its decline to around $25,000.
