Bitcoin came close to revisiting levels last seen in June as crypto liquidations swelled past $19 billion last week, a jolt that pushed traders back to the basics of the Bitcoin four-year cycle playbook.

He argued the line between “non-custodial” and “money services” is being tested in court—and could shift with enforcement.
