Bitcoin Whales Drive Rebound Amid Ethereum's Historic Quarter
Recent market movements reveal significant activity for major cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin (BTC) has staged a rebound, nearing $65,800, fueled by large holders who scooped up $700 million following an on-chain bottom signal that previously sparked a 24% rally. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) is on track for an unprecedented third consecutive red quarter, though bullish signs like a macro lift and increasing staking activity offer hope for a reversal. Separately, an exploit on the defunct Aztec Connect platform resulted in a $2.1 million drain, highlighting persistent security vulnerabilities even in legacy systems.
