📉 Bitcoin dropped below $60,000 amidst one of the harshest sell-offs recently, currently trading above $65,000.

Within 24 hours, the market liquidated longs worth $2.2 billion, and the Fear & Greed Index fell to 9 — for the first time since June 2022, since the Terra crash.

According to analysts, the dump appears forced: possible sales by sovereign funds, problems at a major exchange, a liquidity crisis among ultra-wealthy players, or hidden leverage in the IBIT ETF.

A sell-off of assets by Chinese entities is also not ruled out — with a potential hit to the crypto market and Trump's political image as a "pro-crypto" candidate.

🕵️‍♂️ The development of quantum computing DOES NOT pose an emergency threat to Bitcoin, the truly vulnerable volume is only 10 200 BTC — CoinShares.

🇷🇺 In Russia, an increase in the detection rate of corruption crimes is recorded, while the schemes themselves are increasingly moving into the digital realm, including cryptocurrency settlements.

According to law enforcement agencies, bribes and kickbacks are increasingly passing through chains of shell companies and crypto wallets, especially in the sphere of public procurement and infrastructure contracts.

Experts note that crypto is used as a tool to complicate traces and mask beneficiaries, which makes the investigation of multi-level schemes significantly more difficult.
