Your Tuesday crypto briefing is here.
Operational risk is crowding out crypto’s growth narrative. A breach at Bits of Gold halted Bitcoin purchases and potentially exposed data tied to 250,000 users, underscoring that access, privacy, and trust can break down even when customer funds remain secure.
That pressure is showing up elsewhere in the stack. Bybit is moving toward forced liquidations for some business accounts that miss new verification rules, while Bitcoin Core’s feature freeze nears with unresolved proposal and rebase issues. Add a miner warning that $33 million in debt could outlast its financing, and counterparty discipline looks as important as price.
The global crypto market cap is $2.21 trillion, with a 24-hour volume of $51.83 billion. The price of Bitcoin is $64,778.77, and BTC market dominance is 58.9%. The price of Ethereum is $1,917.19, and ETH market dominance is 10.5%. The best-performing sector is Cat-Themed, which gained 7%. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is currently Fear (41).
