> Bitcoin dipped to nearly $80,000 as a selloff drove $1.16 billion in crypto derivatives liquidations over 24 hours, including about $1 billion in bullish positions. Ethereum accounted for roughly $324 million in liquidations, more than Bitcoin’s $240 million. Recent Bitcoin buyers also moved substantial holdings to exchanges, with many transfers made at a loss.
