The crypto market is experiencing a massive sell-off, losing $390 billion in a single week, while major corporate crypto holders are dumping their shares.

## Idea

Crypto markets just suffered their worst weekly drop since the FTX collapse, wiping out $390 billion in value. This extreme panic is being compounded by the CEO of MicroStrategy, a major corporate bitcoin holder, selling $11 million of his own stock. When industry leaders start heading for the exits while prices are already in freefall, it signals a severe lack of confidence. Crypto exchanges like Coinbase will see their revenues take a direct hit as trading volumes dry up.
