BTC Drops 3.88% Amid Liquidation Surge, Volatile Trades Push Price Below $75,711 on Binance
Bitcoin (BTCUSDT) experienced a 3.88% decrease over the last 24 hours, with its current price at $75,711.35 on Binance. This decline was partly driven by significant liquidation of long positions due to leveraged trades, as reported on social media, and ongoing volatility following a recent price surge above $75,000. The market also reacted to broader negative momentum over the past week and month, as Bitcoin broke through support levels and reached new lows. Despite these fluctuations, trading activity remains strong with a 24-hour volume exceeding $2.93 billion on Binance, supported by a circulating supply near 20 million BTC and a market capitalization of approximately $1.53 trillion.
The narrative surrounding Bitcoin has noticeably shifted from hopeful inquiries of "wen bounce" to speculation regarding exactly how "low we can go." On the provided chart, the height of the bars corresponds to specific discussion trends: the blue segments represent mentions of the $50K-$59K range for $BTC, while the red segments indicate mentions of $90K-$99K $BTC.
Typically, when conversation centers on higher price targets, it signals greed; conversely, a focus on lower values points to fear. Since financial markets frequently move in the opposite direction of crowd expectations, the fact that retail traders view a sub-$60K Bitcoin scenario as a foregone conclusion suggests there are grounded arguments for a potential short-term relief rally.
Confidential by Design, Auditable by Choice - DUSK's Security Core
Security was a core focus from inception, Dusk was designed to mitigates common blockchain vulnerabilities.
• @Dusk_Foundation Privacy by default, through ZKPs ensures transaction details remain confidential to outsiders, yet allow selective auditability (regulators).
• SBA consensus provides strong Byzantine fault tolerance with shifting validator power, reducing attack vectors.

If $ETH can’t reclaim $2.7K fast, you can forget about all those casual $4K targets for a while.
$ETH basically did a clean range breakdown.
We spent weeks chopping between $2.7K–$3.3K
and you can see $2.7K support got defended twice (the two white arrows up).
Five days ago we finally lost $2.7K (where the finger is), which potentially flips that whole level into resistance.
Since then price has dumped into the next major demand at $2.15K
and that’s the first place you’d expect buyers to actually show up again.
My base case from here is we likely range between $2.15K and $2.7K for a bit and the key tell will be how price reacts on the first retest of $2.7K
If we reclaim and hold it, this breakdown starts to look like a deviation, and the upside path opens back up to $3.3K first, then that next big supply/target zone around $3.9K–$4.1K (grey band above).
As long as $2.15K keeps getting defended, I’m treating this as breakdown → base → reclaim attempt.

The L2 "simple scaling" race is OVER. $ETH mainnet is scaling itself. L2s MUST innovate NOW. Forget just TPS. Focus on extreme scaling, privacy, unique features, and low latency. Phase 1 status is the new minimum. Anything less is just a bridge. True L2s will offer ZK-EVM verified cross-chain power. The future is innovation, not just extensions.
News is for reference, not investment advice.

LINK Token Holds Strong Institutional Support Amid $3.8M Inflows and Major Utility Upgrades
Chainlink (LINKUSDT) is currently trading at $9.50 on Binance, down 3.26% over the last 24 hours from an open of $9.82, amid notable market volatility and mixed sentiment. The recent price decline is attributed to a combination of technical factors, including increased exchange inflows that may indicate selling pressure, as well as broader crypto market outflows reported on February 2, 2026. Despite this, institutional interest remains strong, highlighted by inflows of $3.8 million into LINK and ongoing whale accumulation. Recent developments such as Chainlink's launch of 24/5 U.S. equities data streams, integration with DTCC’s tokenization service, and joining the KRW Stablecoin Alliance are enhancing network utility and visibility. Chainlink’s 24-hour trading volume is substantial, exceeding $281 million, and its market capitalization is estimated between $6.43 and $8.65 billion, reflecting continued investor engagement despite short-term price fluctuations.
🔥List of Altcoins with the Highest Fund Inflows and Outflows During the Great Crash Revealed
📥 Net inflows (capital entering):
• Base — +$136.6M
• Arbitrum — +$85.7M
• Injective — +$75.7M
• Polygon, Starknet, OP Mainnet also saw positive flows
📤 Net outflows (capital exiting):
• Ethereum ecosystem — −$177.1M
• Berachain — −$58.8M

💁The take-away: even under broad selling pressure, smart money is rotating into newer niches - Layer-2s, alternative smart-contract platforms and emerging ecosystems.
Major ecosystems are bleeding liquidity while others are capturing fresh capital.

Web3's resistance to rules has been ideological posturing that actually limits adoption, and Dusk's approach demonstrates that compliance infrastructure unlocks rather than restricts growth. The notion that regulation kills innovation only holds if you ignore the trillions in traditional finance that won't touch unregulated systems.
Institutional capital operates within legal frameworks because it has to. Pension funds, banks, asset managers, insurance companies - these entities manage other people's money under fiduciary duty and regulatory oversight. They can't participate in systems where transactions are fully transparent to competitors, where compliance can't be proven cryptographically, or where regulatory reporting is impossible. The "code is law" mentality effectively excludes the majority of global capital from participating.
Dusk proves you can have privacy and compliance simultaneously through zero-knowledge proofs. Transactions remain confidential so competitors can't front-run institutional trades or reverse-engineer strategy, but regulators can verify compliance without seeing underlying details. This isn't compromise, it's solving the actual problem institutions face. Securities need transfer restrictions based on investor accreditation, jurisdictional rules, and holding periods - requirements that public blockchains can't enforce without breaking privacy or decentralization.
The growth comes from accessing markets that rules enable. Tokenized securities, compliant stablecoins, regulated fund shares, privacy-preserving bonds - these represent enormous markets that simply don't exist in crypto because the infrastructure couldn't meet legal requirements. Building that infrastructure doesn't constrain Web3, it expands the addressable opportunity beyond retail speculation into actual productive finance.
