Bitcoin has crashed below $69,000 to its lowest level in two months. Big institutional investors have been pulling money out of Bitcoin funds for 11 straight days — the longest streak since those funds launched — while AI stocks keep attracting all the cash.

## Idea

Bitcoin is in freefall — below $69,000 for the first time in two months — and the selling is being driven by institutions, not retail panic. Over $3.4 billion has been yanked from Bitcoin ETFs in 11 consecutive days of outflows, which is the worst streak on record. At the same time, AI stocks like Marvell and Broadcom are surging, meaning big money is rotating out of crypto and into tech. Adding fuel to the fire, Mt. Gox just moved $739 million in Bitcoin, signaling that creditor repayments may be imminent — which means more Bitcoin hitting the market. When institutional selling, capital rotation, and potential new supply all line up like this, the downtrend tends to feed on itself.
