- Crypto liquidations topped $5B over the past four days, the largest wipeout since Oct. 10.
- Fear & Greed fell to 14 (Extreme Fear), down from 20 last week.
- CryptoQuant’s Ki Young Ju said fresh capital is drying up and BTC faces sustained sell pressure, expecting sideways consolidation rather than a sharp crash.
- Polymarket integrated with Jupiter, bringing prediction markets to Solana for the first time, while Hyperliquid said HIP-4 will add prediction markets and options-like instruments without leverage/liquidations.
- Binance’s SAFU Fund bought 1,315 BTC (~$100.7M) and Strategy added 855 BTC (~$75M), showing continued institutional dip-buying.
