Bitcoin tumbled nearly 3% overnight, shedding value from $65,000 and edging closer to retesting $60,000. The sudden drop sparked over $600 million in liquidations since yesterday, with long positions accounting for more than $530 million of wiped-out bets.
Traders brace for fallout as today’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting looms, adding uncertainty to price action. The crypto market’s sharp swings reflect broader concerns about tightening regulations and shifting investor sentiment.
Regulatory Pressure and Market Impact
The National Football League has joined calls for stricter oversight of prediction markets, raising questions about potential limits on crypto-based betting platforms. Meanwhile, blockchain firm Securitize secured adviser status with the SEC, signaling closer engagement with regulators. These developments come at a time when platforms and investors are navigating an increasingly complex legal environment.
Bitcoin whales continue to accumulate, holding nearly 20,000 BTC as the price tests support around $61,000. This accumulation contrasts with the recent liquidation spike and suggests some confidence in the asset’s resilience despite volatility.
