Bitcoin holds above $75K as Asian stocks shed over $1 trillion in a day

A post-midterm tech selloff swept Asian markets on Friday, with South Korea's KOSPI falling as much as 9% and triggering a circuit breaker, while Japan's Nikkei slid into a bear market. More than $1 trillion in market value was erased in a single day. Bitcoin held just above $75,000 through the turmoil, and traders are watching whether that level holds as a signal of crypto's resilience or its vulnerability to a broader risk-off move.
