The world's largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), has fallen below $100,000 for the first time since June 23, 2025.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading below $100,000 and has lost 6.65% of its value in the last 24 hours. On a weekly basis, the decline has reached 12.87%, indicating a significant decrease in investors' risk appetite.
Bitcoin's market capitalization fell to $1.99 trillion, while 24-hour trading volume exceeded $90 billion. Additionally, $1.27 billion worth of positions were liquidated in futures markets over the last 24 hours. Long positions accounted for the majority of the liquidations.
