On January 25, 2026, Bitcoin dropped below $88,000, triggering $135 million in long liquidations and contributing to a broader crypto market decline. The total market capitalization fell below $3 trillion after shedding $220 billion over the past week. Ethereum also tumbled to $2,800 as bearish patterns and macroeconomic risks weighed on investor sentiment.
Despite President Trump's vows to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world, bitcoin's price has plummeted from its peak. The cryptocurrency nearly doubled post-election but has since fallen sharply due to speculation and trade tensions. Critics highlight the sector's inherent volatility amid ongoing regulatory shifts.

Cryptocurrencies have experienced a sharp decline this February, with Bitcoin dropping roughly 45 percent from its peak in early October. Other digital assets have followed the trend, marking a challenging period for the market. Seeking Alpha analysts are weighing in on the causes and potential stabilization.
President Donald Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on Chinese imports sparked the largest cryptocurrency liquidation in history, wiping out $19 billion in leveraged positions. Bitcoin plunged to $104,000, while Ethereum and Solana saw drops of over 14% and 20%, respectively. The sell-off rippled through global markets, with major US stock indices recording their steepest declines in months.
