The cryptocurrency market is under severe pressure, with Bitcoin falling to $76,000 as risk assets are liquidated globally. Compounding the bearish sentiment is the aftermath of a $6.3B hack on Binance, which has triggered a temporary suspension of withdrawals for major assets like HYPE, INJ, and APT. The exchange is targeting a restoration of services by the end of the following week, but the incident has raised fresh questions about exchange custody and hot wallet safeguards, adding a layer of structural risk to the crypto sector.
