Bitcoin falls below $69K as $1.4B in liquidations hits ETH and XRP
Bitcoin dropped below $69,000 as a broad crypto selloff triggered more than $1.4 billion in liquidations. ETH fell toward $1,900 and XRP approached a break below $1.00, showing losses across major altcoins. Traders care because the scale of liquidations signals forced selling and elevated leverage risk that can amplify further downside.
