Wintermute: The Bear Market is Not Over, But the Next Rebound Could Be "Different This Time"
On February 3, crypto firm Wintermute published an article noting Bitcoin has fallen below the $80,000 mark for the first time since the April 2025 Trump tariff event. Over the weekend, cumulative liquidations in the crypto market hit $2.55 billion—marking the 10th largest liquidation event in history.
