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. Bitcoin dropped 5.6%, settling slightly above $86,000. Data from Coinbase shows the crypto is down 33% since reaching a record high of $126,210.50 in October.

Data Shows Americans More Welcoming to Digital Banks, Not Crypto Wallets

A new survey from Mercuryo points to a widening gap between how Americans interact with traditional digital wallets and how they perceive crypto wallets. Out of 3,428 adults surveyed, only 12% described crypto wallets as a natural fit within their financial routines and 13% as easy to use. By contrast, 64% and 75% said the same about mainstream digital wallets, suggesting the divide is built into how people understand the two technologies rather than caused by a simple knowledge gap.
