BTCT is trading at $1.04 (-7.96%) in pre-market, significantly underperforming the broader crypto market as geopolitical tensions and macro uncertainty trigger a risk-off sentiment.
- While Bitcoin declined only -0.32% since the last close, BTCT faces steeper pressure following reports of NATO allies securing undersea energy infrastructure amid escalating global stability concerns.
- Market sentiment remains fragile after the March CPI report showed headline inflation at 3.3%, driven by a 10.9% monthly surge in energy costs, keeping the risk of elevated interest rates high.
