Bitcoin slides to $76,300 on Binance hack and liquidations: Oct 30, 2026
Bitcoin briefly slid to $76,300 after Binance confirmed a hack estimated at $6.3 billion, a move linked to broader cryptocurrency declines and $1.49 billion in liquidations in a day, including $628 million in an hour. The volatility followed a post-FOMC stretch in which the Fed held rates steady with a hawkish tone and BTC moved below $80,000, before briefly reclaiming $81,000 and nearing $82K.
