Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD hitting $23,206 on Bitstamp, down around 1.5% on the day.
The pair came under pressure as rumors swirled over the fate of Silvergate, which lost United States exchange Coinbase as a client in a decision the latter said came out of "an abundance of caution."
Silvergate had suffered as a result of the FTX implosion, delaying its 10-K report this week and warning that it could be "less than well capitalized."
The shares of parent company Silvergate Capital were down 40% on the day at the time of writing.

3 BTC price hurdles Bitcoin bulls are failing to clear in 2023
From whale "manipulation" to a lack of mainstream interest, Bitcoin is facing serious challenges after its 40% price rebound.

Bitcoin (BTC) is up 42% since the start of 2023, but short term, the outlook may now favor the bears.
The latest data paints a problematic picture for BTC price action — investors are greedy, but the mainstream is far from ready to buy.
After January’s 40% surge, BTC/USD is having trouble reaching for resistance higher up the chart.
As Cointelegraph reported, the pair spent the whole of February simply consolidating its prior gains, making it likely the least volatile month on record.
Judging by current moves, however, that consolidatory phase may soon be over — but not work out in bulls’ favor.
