Crypto Market Chaos: $2 Trillion Wiped Out, Bitcoin and Ether Plunge

  • The global crypto market has lost approximately $2 trillion in value since October 2025, with $800 billion (₹72 lakh crore) lost in the last month alone.
  • Bitcoin fell to $63,295.74, its lowest since October 2025, with $1 billion in positions liquidated in 24 hours; Ether also dropped over 13% to $1,854.
  • The decline is attributed to large-scale liquidation of leveraged positions, weak sentiment from volatility in gold and silver, and a close link to tech stock performance.
  • Concerns about a hawkish Fed under potential chair Kevin Warsh and continuous heavy withdrawals from crypto ETFs by institutional investors are fueling panic.
  • Experts advise investors to re-evaluate portfolio weight, avoid leveraged trading, and focus on risk management, as further decline and prolonged instability are possible.
