News Highlights
Broad crypto market decline / deleveraging
The market has seen a sharp pullback this week, with Bitcoin down around 0.8 % over 24 hours (trading near $109,722) and Ethereum falling ~4.3 %. Analysts attribute the drop largely to forced liquidations and overextended leverage, not fundamentally weak crypto assets.

Over the past few days, the derivatives market saw liquidations totaling roughly $1.5 billion, a record for the year. Many leveraged long positions were forcibly closed, intensifying market volatility.
