The cryptocurrency market is seeing a sharp drop as investors believe that outflows from crypto products and the recent Bybit hack were catalysts for the market to turn bearish.

Odaily Planet Daily News According to Ember’s monitoring, the Bybit hacker has laundered 89,500 ETH (US$224 million) in the past two and a half days, which is 18% of the total ETH he stole (499,000). At this frequency, the hacker will be able to exchange the remaining 410,000 ETH for other assets (BTC/DAI, etc.) in another half a month. Currently, the hacker’s cross-chain asset exchange is mainly carried out through THORChain.

According to Foresight News, analysis by Spot On Chain indicates that if Ethereum (ETH) falls below $2,400, it could mark its worst February performance on record. Historically, February has been a positive month for ETH, with only one decline in 2018, when it dropped by 24%. Currently, ETH has already decreased by 23% this month, potentially making it the second February in history to experience a decline. The market is under additional pressure due to macroeconomic uncertainties, including new tariff policies introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.

According to Foresight News, data from CloverPool indicates that Bitcoin mining difficulty has been adjusted at block height 885,024. The difficulty has decreased by 3.15%, bringing it down to 110.57 T.

This assumption proved incorrect, leading traders to close their positions. Most of these transactions were conducted over-the-counter (OTC), which appeared to provide sufficient liquidity to meet the demand.
