What happened
Bitcoin (BTC) fell about 2% to near $74,000 on Sunday, a two-month low, after $1.3 billion in weekly ETF outflows and $1 billion in forced liquidations spooked traders. U.S. Bitcoin funds (ETFs, which let people buy Bitcoin through a normal brokerage account) lost $1.28 billion last week, the most since June. Liquidations are forced sales when traders who borrowed money to bet on higher prices run out of cushion; about $931 million came from those bets. Ethereum (ETH) fell about 5.8% to near $2,105.
Why it matters
Bitcoin's slide matters because it is the largest cryptocurrency and often pulls other coins lower. Big fund withdrawals suggest large investors are stepping back, and Democratic control of Congress has raised worries about tougher crypto rules. Traders are also waiting for Tuesday's U.S. inflation report, since higher inflation can keep interest rates high and make risky assets less appealing.
