The crypto market just suffered its worst week since the major FTX collapse, wiping out $390 billion in value. This panic was accelerated by news that the CEO of the biggest corporate bitcoin holder just sold off millions of dollars of his own company stock.

## Idea

Crypto markets are in full panic mode, experiencing the steepest weekly drop in years due to a combination of macro pressures and insider selling. The CEO of MicroStrategy, often viewed as the ultimate crypto cheerleader, dumping $11 million of his own stock is a massive red flag for market confidence. With fear taking over and no clear catalyst to stop the bleeding, crypto-related stocks like Coinbase are likely to continue sliding lower.
