The post Bitcoin investors suffer biggest realized losses since 2022 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin (BTC) is struggling on Friday, December 5, with the sell-offs triggering the biggest spike in realized losses since the FTX exchange collapse in 2022. Short-term holders bore the brunt of the market downturn, while their long-term peers remain largely unaffected, having accumulated their holdings at much lower prices, Glassnode figures reviewed by Finbold show. Bitcoin realized losses chart showing highest spike since 2022. Source: Glassnode (@glassnode) Bitcoin realized losses hit highest since FTX collapse As mentioned, the last time Bitcoin saw realized losses of this magnitude was three years ago, during the dramatic implosion of FTX exchange. One of the most dramatic moments in crypto history, the event led to more than $100 billion getting wiped from global crypto market capitalization within a day. The sell-off intensified after it was revealed that Alameda Research’s balance sheet was heavily backed by FTX’s own token (FTT), which exposed deep structural risks within Sam Bankman-Fried’s crypto empire. Binance’s subsequent decision to liquidate $500 million in FTT then sent the token down 80% in a day, causing it to lose roughly $2.5 billion in value. Weak macro data and inflation fears drive sell-off At the same time, macroeconomic uncertainty is weighing the asset down even further. That is, while oversold conditions mentioned above could spark a short-term bounce, the trajectory still appears bearish, as weak U.S. labor data, including weekly jobless claims at three-year lows, keep pressuring risk assets. Bitcoin’s 30-day correlation with the Nasdaq now stands at 0.82, showing how vulnerable it has become to broader market sentiment. Moreover, traders are now eyeing today’s Core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) inflation data, which is expected to be of crucial importance given that unfavorable results could potentially delay Fed cuts and thus extend the cryptocurrency’s slide. At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $90,750,… The post Bitcoin investors suffer biggest realized losses since 2022 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors. The company said its local subsidiary, BitGo Europe, can now provide custody, staking, transfer, and trading services. Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
