Crypto Liquidations Soar as Market Continues Slipping

The cryptocurrency market pulled back on December 5 as a wave of renewed liquidations and fading futures interest pushed major tokens lower. Bitcoin, which had traded above $93,000 earlier in the week, slipped under the $90,000 mark. Several altcoins also weakened, including MYX Finance, Canton, Hyperliquid, Aerodrome Finance, Aptos, and Morpho. The downturn arrived alongside a sharp retreat in futures market open interest.

BTC Continues Losing Ground as Risk-Off Sentiment Persists

Bitcoin and crypto-related shares extended their nearly two-month slide on Dec. 1, mirroring a broader retreat in tech shares that many investors argue have climbed too far, too fast.
