Rootstone's Market Round Up
╰ Early Monday, major cryptocurrencies including BTC, Ethereum (ETH), and XRP slid sharply. BTC fell under ~$86,000 as part of a broader wave of liquidations and risk-off sentiment.
╰ The recent sell-off wiped out about $140 billion from the overall crypto market cap, as BTC and altcoins both suffered heavy pressure.
╰ On December 1, the Fed officially ended its quantitative tightening (QT), marking a structural liquidity shift that many analysts compare to 2019 — a cycle that preceded a major crypto rally.
╰ Institutional investors and digital-asset treasury firms appear increasingly cautious, in light of recent volatility and liquidity stress.
