Crypto News
Bitcoin has experienced significant downward pressure, falling to $65K amid rising Fed rate hike odds, while major cryptocurrencies like Solana have retreated to August 2021 levels and XRP faces potential further decline below $0.80. The market is facing additional headwinds from weakening market maker positions, a substantial $26 billion outflow from stablecoins, and a notable 11-session losing streak for BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF. Security concerns are also mounting, with reports of Binance's historic $6.3 billion breach, a customer data breach at Unocoin, and emerging malware threats targeting crypto users.
