The Halving event in April 2024 reduced the block reward by 50%, putting further pressure on miners. As a result, smaller mining operators are being forced to either shut down or consolidate their operations. This consolidation is likely to lead to a decrease in network decentralization, which could have long-term implications for Bitcoin price.
Also, as the crypto market declined today, FUD grew around Binance’s suspicious transfer of 75,117 BTC worth $4.69 billion. Out of this, the crypto exchange shifted 45,000 BTC to an unknown wallet, sparking speculations. However, it was then clarified that it was an internal transfer.
In addition, long liquidations in the market currently stand at $112.25 million, according to Coinglass. While this figure may not seem overly significant, it reflects the heightened market uncertainty that is contributing to the overall bearish sentiment.
