The Reason Behind Bitcoin’s Crash
Bitcoin just took a ride straight down. It dropped from $58,350 to $50,000 in hours.
The king of crypto’s now standing at at $52,800. Not quite the recovery bulls might be hoping for, but hey, it’s something.
This crash wasn’t just a Bitcoin thing. It dragged the whole crypto market down with it. Ethereum? It dropped 18% before finding its footing at $2,304.
The messiest part?
Over $1.05 billion in leveraged positions got wiped out. Long positions took the biggest hit, with $901.42 million going up in smoke.
So, what caused this crypto carnage? Here is the entire analysis!
Crypto’s Biggest Loss in 1 Year
The crypto market just experienced its largest three-day sell-off in nearly a year, shedding $510 billion since August 2.
This massive downturn is the result of several negative factors converging at once as we covered in the analysis above.
It’s not just crypto feeling the pain – the S&P 500 dropped 4.4% over the same period.
Bitcoin and Ethereum are leading the crypto descent. BTC is down over 20% for the week, while ETH has fallen over 28%. Solana’s been hit even harder, dropping over 30.6% in a week.

Trump’s Bitcoin Bailout: A Crypto Solution for $35 Trillion Debt?
While the market is facing one of the worst sell-offs this year, Donald Trump just proposed crypto as the ultimate solution to the US debt debate.
His latest idea? Using Bitcoin to wipe out America’s $35 trillion IOU.
In a Fox News interview, Trump casually suggested handing out “a little Bitcoin” to clear the debt.
But wouldn’t it just cause a massive dump in the market? Read the full story!
Bitcoin’s Difficulty Peaks as Price Dips
While Bitcoin’s price is taking a hit, mining difficulty just hit an all-time high of 90.67 trillion hashes.
This surge in difficulty means miners need more powerful, energy-efficient hardware to keep the Bitcoin blockchain secure.
Publicly traded mining companies are feeling the squeeze. Profitability is becoming a real challenge in this high-difficulty, low-price environment.
Miners are getting creative to stay afloat.
What strategies are they adopting? And are we going to witness a major miners’ exit soon? Read the full story!
Is Bitcoin Really the “Digital Gold”?
Gold just hit a historic high, soaring past $2,500 for the first time ever.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s “digital gold” narrative is getting a serious reality check.
With gold now trading at $2,445 per ounce, investors are giving the shiny metal a fresh look. Bitcoin? It’s sitting at over $52K down a hefty 24% in just a week – a clear performance gap.
This gold rally is forcing a rethink of Bitcoin’s role in portfolios. As global uncertainties rise, gold’s enduring appeal as a safe haven is shining brighter than ever. Bitcoin’s resilience? It’s under the microscope.
What kind of trouble can it cause for Bitcoin in the long run in terms of adoption? Read the full story!
