As the global economy teeters on the brink of instability, Bitcoin’s price has taken a drastic plunge, falling to a three-month low. The cryptocurrency’s sharp decline has sparked concerns over potential macroeconomic factors that could fuel its resurgence.
A significant drop in Bitcoin’s value from $95,930 to $86,010 between February 24 and February 25, 2025, has led to a 10.7% decline and the lowest price since November 2024. This steep fall has resulted in over $760 million in leveraged long liquidations.
Bitcoin’s current trading value stands at $88,216, reflecting an 8.38% decline over the past week and an unsettlingly low 0.97% drop in the past day.
The sudden downturn is largely attributed to investors’ growing unease with regards to global economic instability. The imposition of new U.S. trade tariffs has heightened concerns about a slowing economy, prompting investors to reevaluate their positions and redirect their investments towards safer assets.
