<p>Amid the massive selloff in the Asia trading hours on Monday, August 5, the Bitcoin price has come crashing down over 12% falling all the way to $54,000. The worries surrounding the US recession have skyrocketed once again with traders unwinding their positions in most of the risk assets. Popular economist Peter Schiff stated that Bitcoin ETFs could face a hard time in Monday’s trading session.</p>

<p>As said, the <a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin price</a> has now crashed to $54,000 falling under the July lows. As this scenario pans out, popular economist Peter Schiff believes that there could be a 15% gap down for spot Bitcoin ETFs on Monday, from the January levels. If so, it could trigger massive liquidations going ahead.</p>
