Key takeaways
  • Bitcoin declined 19% during the reported pre-IPO selloff
  • Coinbase recorded $1.08 billion in net spot selling
  • BTC trades at $65,333, down 13.76% over seven days
  • Crypto sentiment remains at extreme fear

U.Today reported that Bitcoin fell roughly 19% during the run-up to Anthropic’s planned Nasdaq IPO, drawing a comparison with its decline ahead of SpaceX’s listing. The report said Strive CEO Matt Cole expects a rebound to $90,000 by February, although that is an attributed forecast rather than an established outcome. Attention then shifted to the source of the selling pressure. U.Today reported that some traders blamed Binance for Bitcoin’s decline to $61,956, but spot-market data pointed instead to Coinbase, where net selling reached $1.08 billion. The available coverage does not provide a corresponding Binance figure. The SpaceX comparison remains the central framing of the story. U.Today presented the earlier IPO-period decline as a historical parallel for Bitcoin’s current weakness and included Cole’s $90,000 February view as part of that assessment. No other outlet was supplied to confirm the comparison or the forecast.
