Bitcoin slides toward $62,000 as chip stocks rout deepens

Bitcoin fell toward $62,000 as a second day of heavy selling in semiconductor stocks pressured risk assets. Ether dropped 3.7% to $1,661, and U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs logged a record 30-day net outflow exceeding $6 billion. Analysts see a fragile floor near $60,000 ahead of a $10.6 billion options expiry.
