The crypto market has entered a fragile phase as Bitcoin dropped under the critical $70,000 level and bounced off $60,000, a zone that has increasingly acted as a gravitational pull rather than a launchpad.This subdued price action came as the stablecoin market has surged, with Tether and Circle minting billions of dollars’ worth of new tokens in recent days.At first glance, the expansion of digital dollar supply appears to suggest renewed liquidity entering the ecosystem. However, a closer look at flows indicates a more cautious, structurally constrained market.Stablecoins function as the primary liquidity rails of the crypto economy, enabling trading,…

President Trump’s WLFI sold Bitcoin to pay off Aave debt and avoid liquidation as BTC price sinks
A wallet attributed to President Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial, which is managed by his sons, withdrew approximately 173 wrapped Bitcoin from Aave V3 on Feb. 5 and sold them to repay $11.75 million in stablecoin debt.This sequence reveals the mechanics of voluntary deleveraging: as Bitcoin’s drawdown below $63,000 forces whales to sell collateral and reduce leverage, protocol liquidation engines trigger at worse terms.The address 0x77a…F94F6 withdrew roughly 73 WBTC and 100 WBTC from Aave V3’s collateral pool, then repaid 5,037,001 USDC and 6,710,808 USDC to the protocol in separate actions.Although there is no confirmation regarding the wallet’s ownership, on-chain…

Tether invested US$150 million in Gold.com to integrate its XAUT gold-backed token and enable physical gold purchases using USDT and USAT stablecoins. The deal follows gold hitting record highs above US$5,000 per ounce, contrasting with Bitcoin’s 50% decline from its peak. Market performance highlights Bitcoin as a long-term hedge against monetary debasement rather than a short-term safe haven against immediate volatility. Tether is putting more money into gold, buying a US$150 million (AU$230 million) stake in Gold.com, which sells access to gold in two ways: traditional physical gold, and tokenised gold, a digital token on a blockchain that represents a…
Bitcoin has broken below the critical US$69,000 support level, the 2021 cycle peak, signaling potential further downside toward the US$58,000 to US$69,000 demand zone. The US$58,000 mark is a pivotal floor, aligning with both recent high-volume buying and the 200-week moving average, a level historically known to act as a bear market bottom. Technical indicators like the Weekly RSI dropping below 30 and a negative Adjusted NUPL suggest extreme market stress, conditions that often precede sharp short-term rebounds. Bitcoin breaking below US$69K (AU$99K) is important because that level was the 2021 peak, and old cycle highs often act as support…
Bitcoin’s slide to $60k puts BTC treasury companies $10B underwater as one major firm is braces for a $27B disaster
Bitcoin’s (BTC) slide to as low as $60,233 overnight, before recovering somewhat to $65,443, has left most of the largest pure-play Bitcoin treasury companies deeply underwater on their holdings, with combined unrealized losses approaching $10 billion across eight entities that collectively control more than 850,000 BTC.The reckoning hits hardest at the top. Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, holds 713,502 BTC at an average cost basis of $76,047 per coin, resulting in an unrealized loss of $6.85 billion at current prices.That’s a 12.6% drawdown on a treasury worth $47.4 billion at spot, but the company’s scale means every $1,000 move in Bitcoin’s price…
Bitcoin’s sharp decline has pushed prices toward levels that strain mining profitability across the network. Cost benchmarks signal pressure, but actual miner economics vary widely by scale and efficiency. Rising hashrate and weak fee revenue leave miners increasingly exposed to sustained price weakness. Bitcoin’s latest drawdown has intensified stress across the mining sector, with prices now roughly 50% below October highs and recent trading below US$63,000 (AU$90,720). The decline has raised questions over whether current market levels are compatible with prevailing production costs. A Checkonchain chart has added to those concerns by placing Bitcoin’s difficulty regression price around US$86,000 (AU$123,840),…
IREN and CleanSpark shares plummeted over 20% in combined trading sessions as Bitcoin fell below $64,000 and both companies missed quarterly revenue estimates. IREN reported a $155.4 million net loss driven by $219 million in unrealised hedging losses and impairment costs from transitioning its infrastructure from Bitcoin mining to AI Cloud computing. CleanSpark posted a $378.7 million net loss despite an 11.6% revenue increase, highlighting the financial strain of diversifying into AI infrastructure and digital asset management. Two former Bitcoin mining companies (now turned AI cloud computing platforms), IREN and CleanSpark, are having a rough time with Bitcoin’s recent drop…
