CRYPTO ASSETS LOSE $1.7 TRILLION IN VALUE SINCE OCTOBER PEAK Bitcoin fell to around $72,000, its lowest level in 15 months, extending a drop of over 40% from its October peak as global markets sold off. Analysts say the move reflects a broader risk-off shift, with Bitcoin trading in line with falling tech stocks. ETF flows turned negative again, and doubts are growing about Bitcoin’s role as a safe haven as the crypto market has lost over $460 billion since late January.(*Walter Bloomberg)
