BTCUSD

Max Keizer, CEO of BecauseBitcoin.com, described the recent Bitcoin price drop from $70,500 to $62,800 as a 'healthy shakeout' rather than a market crash. He remains optimistic about the ongoing bull market, citing historical cycles and advising investors to expect more fluctuations. The weekend's sell-off, which saw major cryptocurrencies lose up to 18% of their value, was exacerbated by $2 billion in liquidated futures positions. Keizer's comments come ahead of Benzinga's Future of Digital Assets conference, which will discuss market dynamics and the Bitcoin halving.
