Bitcoin Holders Capitulate: Nearly 50K BTC Sold At A Loss in 24 Hours

Bitcoin investors are hitting the panic button—nearly 50,000 BTC were sold at a loss in just one day as prices slump. This mass sell-off coincides with "Crypto Week" in Congress, where lawmakers are debating major regulations that could redefine the crypto landscape in the U.S. The timing couldn’t be more tense: investors are dumping assets while waiting to see if new rules will stabilize or further disrupt the market.
Editor’s Note: When long-term holders start selling at a loss, it’s often a sign of market fear—and right now, that fear is mixed with uncertainty over how harsh (or friendly) new U.S. crypto laws might be. This isn’t just about short-term price swings; the decisions made this week could either legitimize crypto for institutional investors or push it further into the wild west. Either way, the stakes are high.
