Bitcoin fell below the $100,000 mark on Thursday, November 13, 2025, continuing a pattern of weakness during U.S. trading hours. The decline, exacerbated by a government shutdown-induced liquidity drain and fading hopes for a Federal Reserve rate cut, triggered significant liquidations across the crypto market. Crypto-linked stocks also suffered sharp losses as risk assets broadly retreated.
Research shows that $1.6 billion in liquidity on major decentralized exchanges remained underutilized during the first half of 2026. This amount represented 85 percent of the total tracked across concentrated liquidity pools. Providers missed out on an estimated $150 million in annual fees as a result.

Aerodrome, the largest decentralized exchange on Coinbase's Base network, will roll out a new mechanism called Predictive Allocation in July. The upgrade replaces the existing weekly voting system with a real-time approach that rewards forecasts of future liquidity demand.
New liquidity into the cryptocurrency ecosystem has slowed significantly, with capital shifting between tokens rather than entering from external sources. Trading firm Wintermute describes the market as operating in a 'self-funded mode' amid outflows from U.S. spot ETFs and reduced demand from digital asset treasuries. This occurs despite rising M2 money supply in major economies driven by fiscal spending.

Major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, and Solana fell sharply on October 16, 2025, as tightening liquidity in the US financial system curbed risk appetite. Bitcoin dropped below $109,000 to around $108,800, while altcoins saw steeper declines of up to 13%. The sell-off follows a weekend wipeout of about $500 billion in market value.
