Bitcoin Price Plummets Further. Is Crypto Crashing?
Bitcoin slipped below $68,000 on Thursday, marking its lowest level since November 2024 and erasing more than a year of gains, while institutional investors have turned net sellers, according to CryptoQuant. The broader crypto market followed suit, with Ether and Solana also tumbling, Solana reaching a two‑year low. In parallel, OpenAI unveiled GPT‑5.3‑Codex, a coding‑focused model that runs 25% faster than its predecessor and claims to have helped build itself, signaling a new wave of self‑improving AI. Anthropic responded with Claude Opus 4.6, intensifying the frontier‑AI race.
