Bitcoin’s latest liquidation wave and ETF outflows are testing Wall Street’s still-bullish $100,000 targets just as a potential AI mega-IPO cycle competes for the same money. At the same time, FTT’s 50% spike on Sam Bankman-Fried’s pardon bid and a cooling market-implied timetable for the CLARITY Act underscore how event-driven bets are increasingly shaping crypto behavior. The global crypto market cap is $2.12 trillion, with a 24-hour volume of $84.86 billion. The price of Bitcoin is $60,873.38, and BTC market dominance is 57.9%. The price of Ethereum is $1,625.26, and ETH market dominance is 9.3%. The best-performing sector is Sports, which gained 3%. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is currently Extreme Fear (10). 📰 Top News Bitcoin faces a Wall Street test as AI’s mega-IPO wave targets the same capital A potential mega-IPO wave led by OpenAI, SpaceX, and other AI giants could reignite risk appetite across markets, while also testing whether Bitcoin still holds its role as Wall Street’s favorite high-beta trade.
