⚠️ Metal Meltdown Hits Crypto — $120M Wiped Out ⚠️
A brutal shake-up in gold, silver, and copper just sent shockwaves through both traditional and crypto markets. 💥
📉 After a wild week on the London Metal Exchange, copper prices plunged nearly 4% from record highs, falling from above $14,500 per ton to around $13,000. The trigger?
🔄 Sudden position shifts by Chinese traders
⚙️ Technical disruptions at the LME
🌪️ Extreme volatility after an overheated rally
That sell-off didn’t stop at Wall Street. It spilled straight into crypto, where tokenized versions of gold, silver, and copper saw nearly $120 million in liquidations as traders used blockchain platforms as fast-moving macro trading tools.
🔥 The twist?
While metals took a hit, Bitcoin barely flinched. BTC traded mostly on its own path, strengthening the narrative that it’s evolving into a standalone risk asset, not just a mirror of macro trades.
🧠 Big picture:
Even after Friday’s rout, metals are still one of 2026’s strongest themes. But this episode proves one thing loud and clear — crypto is now deeply wired into global market moves, yet Bitcoin is starting to play by its own rules.
📊 Markets are changing. Correlations are breaking. And traders are learning the hard way.
