Bitcoin's price continues to trade around key levels, with today's price near $66,900, showing modest moves but heavy underlying volatility as leveraged liquidations sweep markets. According to live price data, BTC is trading roughly around $66.9K, with a 24‑hour range between about $65.8K and $68.4K amid moderate trading volume.
Meanwhile, notable business leaders from finance and crypto sectors gathered at the World Liberty Financial Forum at Mar‑a‑Lago, where executives and regulators discussed the future of digital assets, signaling increasing institutional interest even as prices wobble.
CEO Discloses BTC Holding as Market Liquidations Hit
At the Mar‑a‑Lago forum, leaders including Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon discussed markets and crypto adoption. Solomon publicly admitted he now holds "a small amount of Bitcoin, a very small amount," marking a rare acknowledgment of personal exposure from a traditional finance executive – a symbolic moment as Bitcoin's price remains under pressure.
While price action appears relatively stable on the surface, derivatives and liquidation data tell another story: Major liquidations continue across exchanges, with Bitcoin long positions facing intense forced exits as price tests key support levels, especially below $66,000 where nearly $169 million in long liquidation intensity has been triggered on centralized exchanges according to CoinGlass. These liquidation flushes reflect markets reacting to volatility and uncertain price direction.
Bitcoin Price Support and Downside Risks
Analysts note that Bitcoin faces critical support around $66,000, a level that, if breached decisively, could trigger further forced selling as liquidity gaps widen between $66,000 and $60,500. This environment highlights the tension between institutional narratives: leaders publicly discussing acceptance and holdings of Bitcoin and market realities, where leveraged positions are being unwound rapidly due to price pressure.
Tokenization of a Maldives Resort Adds Institutional Interest
In parallel with market discussions, the Mar‑a‑Lago forum also spotlighted World Liberty Financial's partnership with Securitize to tokenize the revenue rights on loans at the Trump International Hotel & Resort under construction in the Maldives. The project, being built by DarGlobal and scheduled for completion by 2030, will feature 100 luxury villas. Investors are promised fixed income and loan income streams, as well as potential profit participation from the future sale of the asset. Access to the offering is limited to accredited investors in the US through selected partners and wallets.
The tokenization initiative represents one of the first real-world asset offerings under World Liberty's brand, linking luxury real estate investments with blockchain and crypto adoption. The move underscores how institutional interest in digital assets, including Bitcoin, is increasingly intersecting with innovative investment vehicles like tokenized real estate.
