Smart-contract and DeFi coins lead losses as bitcoin wilts for 4th straight day

ملخص

Smart-contract and DeFi coins are leading losses, while bitcoin extends its decline for the fourth consecutive day, driven by concerns over STRC, a dividend-paying preferred stock from Strategy, which is dominating market sentiment.

Market Context
