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.
