In a brief message, he stated: As indicated on the receipt, he bought 1 bitcoin at $ 11,111.00; just at a time when the market’s leading cryptocurrency was trading above $ 65,000 on other exchanges.

In an internal email reported by Cointelegraph, the company noted that “one of our institutional traders indicated that they had an error in their trading algorithm, which appears to have caused the sale.” After a few minutes, the platform pointed out, the operator “fixed the bug” and the problem “appears to have been resolved.”

After the fund’s first day of trading, Bitcoin broke the all-time highs last April, now targeting $ 67,000, according to some traders.
