Bitcoin crashes below $65,000 amid $1.86B liquidations and Saylor sell‑off
Bitcoin slipped under the $65,000 psychological barrier on June 3, sparking a 12% weekly decline. The drop triggered roughly $1.86 billion in leveraged futures liquidations and a $2.97 billion outflow from spot Bitcoin ETFs over ten sessions. Michael Saylor added pressure by selling 32 BTC, valued at about $2.5 million.

US‑listed spot Ethereum ETFs recorded sustained outflows in late September and mid‑October, a period that coincided with a relative decline in the ETH/BTC price ratio. Meanwhile, non‑US ETFs attracted fresh capital and staking participation continued to rise, cushioning the price impact of the US redemptions. The article argues that these ETF withdrawals act as an episodic, not structural, headwind for Ether and explores whether they are the primary driver of Ether’s underperformance versus Bitcoin.
