Bitcoin's price fell for consecutive sessions, breaking below its 200-day moving average and below $72,000, moving in tandem with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's resignation and five-day cumulative outflows of $1.44 billion from Bitcoin ETFs. BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF product IBIT suffered nine consecutive days of $200 million net outflows, while JPMorgan and BNY Mellon raised their Bitcoin ETF holdings to 36% and 28% respectively.

Coinbase suspended 12 non-USD trading pairs including APE and ATOM, while BlackRock transferred $444 million in BTC and ETH to Coinbase Prime. Market security incidents and institutional position changes are intertwined, reflecting the volatility of the crypto asset market under regulatory and technological risks.
