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.

XRP Investor Says $3M in XRP Was Stolen; Cold Wallet Maker Says Seed Import Made Wallet Hot
A U.S. retiree says more than $3 million worth of XRP (about 1.21 million tokens) was stolen after his Ellipal hardware‑wallet seed was imported into the company’s mobile app, which Ellipal says would store private keys on the device and convert a cold wallet into a hot one. On‑chain investigator ZackXBT traced an Oct. 12 sweep and subsequent swaps across Tron and OTC routes, suggesting rapid cross‑chain laundering that will make recovery unlikely. The episode raises fresh questions about user practices and custody risks for hardware‑wallet users and underscores challenges for exchanges, investigators and victims when funds move through bridges and OTC markets.
