๐ฐ Blockchain analytics firm TRM Labs announced the completion of a $70 million Series C round led by Blockchain Capital, with participation from Goldman Sachs, Bessemer, Brevan Howard, Thoma Bravo, and Citi Ventures.

๐ QCP analysis said Bitcoin dipped to about $72.9K, a post-election low, before rebounding to test the $75K level. The move was accompanied by falling futures open interest and negative funding, indicating deleveraging. Options show elevated front-end volatility, mild backwardation, and steeper downside skew, reflecting near-term downside risk. The $75K level is a key inflection point: holding supports risk additions, while a break signals a defensive turn.
