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.
The Nigeria Association of Macroeconomic Modellers has advocated for structural transformation models customized to the country's unique economic context.
