Bitcoin Near $78,000 Amid Binance Security Breach and US Midterm Election Uncertainty
Bitcoin traded near $78,000 following a $6.3 billion security breach at Binance, prompting cautious investor sentiment amid broader macroeconomic uncertainty. While crypto markets showed modest recovery, institutional outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs continued, with weekly net outflows around $202 million. Market analysts noted that Bitcoin's near-term direction depends on institutional demand, US economic data, and upcoming events including the US midterm elections and central bank decisions. Major currencies remained steady as investors awaited these developments.
