The crypto market faces a correction marked by capital movement between blockchains. Bitcoin's struggle around $100K is a key battleground amid geopolitical tensions.

The crypto market's recent turbulence highlights the intricate dance between capital movement, market correction, and geopolitical events. Bitcoin's struggle to hold the $100,000 level serves as a critical focal point.
Stablecoin Shifts and Network Dynamics
Last week's market dip coincided with a $339 million contraction in the total stablecoin supply. Solana experienced a significant outflow of $663 million in USDT and USDC, while Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) saw inflows of $312 million and $300.1 million, respectively.
