Bitcoin just cratered to a six week low below $73,000 as fresh U.S. airstrikes on Iran reignited Strait of Hormuz war fears, triggering $897 million in long liquidations and the second largest daily IBIT outflow on record at $528 million. The pain is everywhere right now. Fund manager Michael Kramer is warning a $150 billion Treasury liquidity drain over the next week could send BTC much lower, while CME finally killed the famous weekend gap by launching 24/7 futures trading. Meanwhile, Iran is calling negotiations a strategic deadlock, the CFTC made a stunning admission that the Gemini case never should have been filed, the FBI just seized a record $8 billion in Bitcoin from a Cambodian scam compound, and Paxos became the first blockchain native firm approved by the SEC to clear and settle U.S. securities on chain. Plus a single enterprise client racked up a $500 million Claude bill in 30 days with no usage limits. We are breaking down whether Bitcoin defends $72K or rolls over to new lows, what the Hormuz escalation means for risk assets, and why this could be the most consequential 24 hours of the entire cycle.
