Bitcoin falls below $60,000, on track for a rare back-to-back quarterly loss
The token is down nearly 7% on the week with the altcoins falling harder. Bitcoin and ether are both ending the second quarter in the red, a back-to-back losing first half that runs against the usual pattern.
The recovery does little to mask a 9.5% weekly decline as U.S. stocks hit records highs, AI tokens rally and Coinbase’s Ethena deal steals the spotlight.
As AI-powered security tools become cheaper, faster and more widely available, researchers said they could reshape what the crypto industry considers reasonable due diligence before deploying code, potentially altering expectations for developers and institutions.
