Bitcoin Drops to Six-Week Low Amid Binance Security Breach and Market Sell-Off
Bitcoin fell to a six-week low near 76,148 on October 30 amid a reported security breach at Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, which froze billions in assets and led to heavy selling pressure. The incident triggered liquidation of over $1.4 billion in leveraged crypto positions, mainly longs, contributing to market volatility. Ethereum and other major cryptocurrencies also declined. Binance has suspended deposits and withdrawals while investigating the breach. Despite inflows into US Bitcoin ETFs, market uncertainty and economic concerns weighed on prices.
