The broader crypto market has endured one of its toughest weeks of the year, with $1.5 billion in liquidations recorded since Monday alone. The pressure intensified as Bitcoin (BTC) slipped back below the $67,000 level for the first time since April, a move that heightened selling fears and weighed on overall market sentiment.
