The price of bitcoin dropped below $60,000, after investors liquidated over $150 million over the weekend. Bitcoin dropped 3%, while ethereum, Cardano’s ADA, and BNB Chain’s BNG experienced comparable tumbles. Solana also took a big hit, plunging 7%. As a result of the declines, long positions, which bet on bitcoin to go higher, registered $150 million in liquidations.

Additionally, the German government last week began selling bitcoin it seized from a piracy site 11 years ago, with plans to unload tens of millions of bitcoin (about 50,000 bitcoin) to various exchanges. The strength of the dollar index has also reportedly put pressure on the price of bitcoin. Topic of the Week: What Are Decentralized Apps? 🫱 Read more here
