CRYPTO ASSETS LOSE $1.7 TRILLION IN VALUE SINCE OCTOBER PEAK
Bitcoin fell to around $72,000, its lowest level in 15 months, extending a drop of over 40% from its October peak as global markets sold off.
Analysts say the move reflects a broader risk-off shift, with Bitcoin trading in line with falling tech stocks. ETF flows turned negative again, and doubts are growing about Bitcoin’s role as a safe haven as the crypto market has lost over $460 billion since late January.
CRYPTO ASSETS LOSE $1.7 TRILLION IN VALUE SINCE OCTOBER PEAK
Bitcoin fell to around $72,000, its lowest level in 15 months, extending a drop of over 40% from its October peak as global markets sold off.
Analysts say the move reflects a broader risk-off shift, with Bitcoin trading in line with falling tech stocks. ETF flows turned negative again, and doubts are growing about Bitcoin’s role as a safe haven as the crypto market has lost over $460 billion since late January.
Stifel says Bitcoin could fall to $38,000 based on past cycles, citing tighter Fed policy, slowing U.S. crypto regulation, shrinking liquidity, and heavy ETF outflows. Sentiment has sunk into “extreme fear,” showing waning institutional and retail interest.

At exactly 2:17 a.m., the blockchain moved on its own. No transaction. No wallet signature. No human command. Yet… the block was confirmed. Ayaan stared at his screen, heart racing. He had spent three years decoding abandoned smart contracts, chasing myths whispered only in deep-web forums. They called it The Last Block — a hidden protocol said to activate only when the world’s financial system reached collapse. Suddenly, his wallet balance flashed. 0.000000 → ∞ “Infinite liquidity doesn’t exist,” he whispered. The screen glitched. A message appeared: “You are not early. You are chosen.” Every exchange froze within seconds. Charts went flat. Liquidations stopped mid-candle. Billions of dollars were trapped in time. Ayaan realized the truth. Crypto was never built to replace banks. It was built to replace power. Another message arrived: “One decision remains.” Restore the system — or decentralize the world forever. Outside his window, the city went dark. Only the blockchain was still alive. And it was waiting for his signature.
