Why Bitcoin is down 3.3% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell 3.3% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment likely deteriorated following reports of an AI-identified critical flaw in the Bitcoin Lightning Network, which prompted an emergency warning from developers and could have raised short-term security concerns. While Bitcoin Magazine highlighted a longer-term bullish narrative around ETF flows and the “debasement trade,” that supportive backdrop didn’t prevent near-term selling pressure amid the Lightning-related headlines.
