Bitcoin falls below $61K as PlusToken coins move; microcap tokens surge amid manipulation charges

Bitcoin dipped below $61,000, and Ether fell 3% on Wednesday, reflecting weakness in the crypto market. Concerns arose as reports indicated that coins linked to China’s PlusToken Ponzi scheme were moved to exchanges, potentially signaling sell-offs. Around $16 million in ETH was transferred, adding to market pressure.

Meanwhile, U.S. prosecutors charged firms like Gotbit with market manipulation. This caused a brief surge in microcap tokens like Robo Inu, while NexFundAI token spiked 3,500% before crashing.
