The discount on Bitstamp likely stemmed from stronger selling pressure on the Robinhood-owned platform.
The global average price, tracked by CoinDesk, peaked above $126,000 in early October and has been in a downtrend since then. Some analysts expect further sell-off at least to $60,000, where prices may eventually bottom out.
