Bitcoin Drops Below $70,000 Threshold: $460 Billion Loss in Crypto Market

Sharp Decline in the Crypto Market Bitcoin briefly fell below the $70,000 threshold as a broad wave of risk aversion swept through global markets.
With this decline, the leading cryptocurrency reached its lowest level since November 6, 2024, immediately following Donald Trump’s re-election as U.S.
President.
Confidence Crisis and Selling Pressure Shiliang Tang, Managing Partner at Monarq Asset Management, emphasized that the market is undergoing a deep "crisis of confidence." Tang stated that while the initial stages of the decline were driven by liquidations specific to the cryptocurrency market, the recent selling pressure is fueled by general macroeconomic stress affecting broader asset classes.

According to Bloomberg data, while there was a net inflow of approximately $562 million into the funds on Monday, investors withdrew $272 million from these funds on Tuesday.
Significant Loss in Market Value As debates over Bitcoin's role as a safe haven during periods of market stress resurface, the cryptocurrency has lost approximately 17 percent of its value this year.
The total volume of the cryptocurrency market has shrunk by more than $460 billion within the last week.
