Bitcoin records worst monthly performance since FTX collapse, interest rate outlook becomes a drag
The prospect of "higher and longer" interest rates is putting pressure on the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin experiencing its largest monthly decline since the collapse of SBF's FTX empire in November 2022. Bitcoin fell nearly 16% in April, and the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs launched in Hong Kong on Tuesday failed to provide momentum.

Chris Weston, research director at Pepperstone, said the recent rise in US Treasury yields and real interest rates is putting pressure on gold, Bitcoin, and the US stock market.
