Overview
A risk-off turn in crypto markets coincided with fresh exchange belt-tightening headlines. Bitcoin slipped below $70,000 as broader sentiment weakened, with CoinDesk pointing to negative spot bitcoin ETF flows and news that Gemini plans to cut staff and close operations in several regions. Separately, Gemini detailed a strategic retrenchment from multiple overseas markets while refocusing on prediction markets and the U.S., framing the move as expense reduction and a faster path to profitability.
