Bitcoin slumps to 16-month low as global market selloff deepens

Bitcoin price crashes to 16-month low

Bitcoin fell sharply to around US$63,000, its lowest level since October 2024, marking a one-day drop of about 12.6 percent and its biggest daily fall since November 2022.

About US$1 billion in bitcoin positions were liquidated in 24 hours, while the global crypto market has lost roughly US$2 trillion in value since its October peak.

Ether also dropped more than 13 percent.

The decline coincided with volatility in precious metals, falls in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, continued institutional ETF outflows, and market reaction to expectations around potential Federal Reserve policy tightening under a possible Kevin Warsh appointment.
