Bitcoin fell sharply to a 15-month low of around $63,000-$67,000 on February 5, 2026, extending a year-to-date decline of 23% that erased early 2026 gains, including a January drop to $87,500. The sell-off has wiped over $2 trillion from the global crypto market since October 2025 peaks, despite pro-crypto policies from President Trump. Analysts attribute the plunge primarily to Trump's nomination of hawkish former Fed governor Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve chair, alongside ETF outflows and weakening stock markets.
