Bitcoin Sinks Below $77,000 as Fear Grips Crypto After AI Selloff and Binance Attack

Bitcoin fell 5.28% over 24 hours to $76,542, while Ethereum dropped 4.44% to $2,229. Total crypto market capitalization shrank to $2.67 trillion, and the fear and greed index fell to 30 points. This is a global selloff that includes declines on the Nasdaq, a sharp slump in Intel shares and falling gold and silver prices. Polish investors do not have separate, confirmed regulatory decisions today, but they feel the same supply pressure hitting Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins.

📉 Market at a glance, key numbers

The largest digital assets are ending Friday under pressure. Bitcoin costs $76,542 after a 5.28% drop in 24 hours and 6.33% over seven days. Ethereum slid to $2,229, marking a daily decline of 4.44% and a weekly decline of 7.28%.

Among the largest projects there is no clear bright spot of gains today. TRON is up a symbolic 0.06% in 24h and 0.63% over 7d, while Hyperliquid, despite a daily drop of 4.08%, remains 14.65% higher on the week.

Total crypto market capitalization is $2,670,983,950,813, or about $2.67 trillion. The biggest gains today are limited, and declines are hitting practically all major cryptocurrencies.

🇵🇱 What happened on the Polish crypto market today?

In the data released on October 30, 2026, there were no new, confirmed decisions from the KNF, the Ministry of Finance or the NBP. There were also no changes in the offers of Zonda, Kanga or Eger exchanges, and no fresh reports on Aleph Zero, Golem or Reality Metaverse projects.

This means today's decline is global in nature. Polish investors are watching it mainly through the selloff in Bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins, not through a local regulatory change or an event in the Polish crypto sector.

However, the absence of local impulses does not change the fact that regulations and global sentiment remain key for Polish users. The tech asset selloff in the US and declines on the Nasdaq may continue to affect investor appetite in Poland in the coming days.

📊 Why does this matter?

For Polish investors, Bitcoin's drop below $77,000 is a signal that corrections can enter a violent phase. BTC fell 5.28% in 24 hours, with 24h volume of $195.66 billion. This shows that the supply is not just noise, but a move backed by real activity.

For altcoins, the effect is stronger. Solana is down 5.66% in 24h and 9.77% over 7d, while BNB is sliding 6.30% in 24h. When Bitcoin corrects, liquidity usually leaves smaller tokens fastest. That is why exchange tokens and tokenized stocks such as NKYC or Alphabet xStock may be more vulnerable to further pressure.

For market sentiment, the fear and greed index at 30 points is key. This is a fear level that, after a sharp decline, can be a starting point for a rebound, but it does not by itself determine the end of the correction.

🔍 Market analysis

CryptoPulsar's market cycle for Bitcoin points to 29.8 out of 50. Ethereum has 28.0, Solana 29.4, BNB 29.1 and XRP 28.4. These are results below the halfway point, but trend indicators such as MACD and EMA 9/21 remain bullish in the data.

The funding rate for major assets is near neutral or slightly negative. For Ethereum, perpetual futures funding is -0.01%, meaning shorts are paying longs. A fear index of 30 could attract buyers if inflows to exchanges slow down.

On-chain data shows increased whale activity. For Solana, more than 100 transfers above 10,000 SOL were recorded, including three transactions of around 1 million SOL each. For Ethereum, 96 large transfers above 500 ETH were detected within an hour, and about 4,041 ETH net flowed to exchanges in four hours.

If the large transfers turned out to be deposits to exchanges, supply pressure could persist. If they were only portfolio reshuffles, the correction could be shorter. For now, the data does not give a clear directional confirmation.

In the background, the macro context remains. More than $2 trillion evaporated from the Nasdaq in October, and Intel shares lost almost 30% in a single day. Gold also fell below $4,000, and silver below $50. That fuels risk aversion in the crypto market as well.

Tokens under the microscope: NKYC and Alphabet xStock

According to CryptoPulsar AI analysis, NKYC Token has a risk level of 8 out of 10 and potential of 3 out of 10. The price of the NonKYC.io exchange token is $10.56, market cap is $42.23 million, and 24h volume is only about $384,000. The base scenario assumes consolidation from $9.00 to $12.00. The bearish scenario points to a range of $6.50 to $8.00, and at full dilution even around $2 with unchanged market cap.

Alphabet xStock (GOOGLX) is priced at $282.41 after a 3.90% drop in 24h and as much as 17.75% over 30 days. Market cap is $50.75 million and volume is $12.26 million. The analysis risk is 6 out of 10, potential 5 out of 10. The base scenario for 3 to 6 months assumes consolidation from $250 to $310, and the bearish scenario sees a move to around $200 under severe liquidity stress.
