“title”: “Crypto Market Sees $650M Liquidation as China Reaffirms Ban | Regulatory Shifts & Institutional Developments”,
“content”: “Digital asset markets experienced a sharp correction, erasing the previous week’s advances amid significant liquidations and renewed regulatory scrutiny. Bitcoin fell 6% to $85,800, while Ethereum and Solana each declined approximately 7%. The sell-off triggered over $650 million in leveraged position liquidations within 24 hours, with long positions accounting for $580 million of the total. Zcash led losses among major assets, plummeting 20%.\n\nRegulatory developments intensified market pressures. The People’s Bank of China explicitly reaffirmed that cryptocurrency transactions remain illegal within the country, signaling potential enforcement actions. Concurrently, traditional finance continues its measured integration with digital assets. JPMorgan unveiled a structured Bitcoin-linked investment product offering investors a minimum 16% yield, with potential returns up to 50% tied to BTC’s performance and incorporating downside protection.\n\nFurther institutional movement emerged as Robinhood partnered with Susquehanna to launch a new CFTC-licensed derivatives exchange, marking a strategic expansion. In the decentralized ecosystem, TON blockchain developers announced Cocoon, a confidential compute network that will reward GPU operators with TON tokens. Amidst market volatility, Tether’s leadership reiterated the stability of its USDT reserves, countering recent market speculation.”,
