The Reason Behind Bitcoin’s Price Crash: Arthur Hayes Speculates

Bitcoin’s price crashed toward $53,000, losing more than $17,000 since last Monday. This has been one of the cryptocurrency’s worst weekly performances in its entire history.

In the past 24 hours alone, a whopping $840 million worth of leverage positions were liquidated due to the market crash.
