Summary
- Bitcoin rebounded from its weakest level since September, while ether fell and U.S. equity futures also softened.
- Derivatives data show rising stress, with bitcoin futures open interest jumping as traders add shorts, implied volatility and put skew climbing, and over $1 billion in leveraged positions—mostly longs—liquidated in 24 hours.
- Aave and solana are among the few standouts in a broadly weak altcoin market, while ethena slides as negative funding rates undercut ENA’s model.
