Bitcoin and ether suffer their worst week since FTX as $390 billion evaporates
Bitcoin fell 17.3% and ether 22% on the week, putting both on track for their worst weekly losses since November 2022, while the digital-asset market shed about $390 billion.

CoinDesk said roughly $1.6 billion in crypto positions were liquidated over 24 hours, showing how quickly macro repricing is feeding through to leveraged BTC markets.

I haven't seen the timeline be this bleak during my Web3 career. So many people are capitulating. Even Saylor broke his only principle not to sell any BTC. I’m also seeing Bitcoin maxis start to worry about the quantum computing risk to crypto. Let's be real here. We're probably not getting another altseason or a new NFT summer. That chapter is over. We are, however, entering something called the "efficiency zone", where big companies like Coinbase, Sky, or Plasma start merging with classic TradFi. Don't get me wrong. I'm still buying BTC at these levels, tracking early-stage protocols, and advising emerging companies on strategies. This is not a game-over. It's a new chapter where crypto startups become TradFi startups, and TradFi startups use Web3's rails. The industry has matured. It's time we do the same and start adapting to these changes.
