The crypto market correction continues its downward spiral. Bitcoin briefly sank to a low of $43,796. It's down 7% in the last 24 hours, capping a dark week that shaved about 25% off its price.
Why the crash? Macroeconomic events could be to blame. On Thursday, 10-year US Treasury bond yields hit their highest level in over a year before settling back down, but not before prompting retail investors to retreat from higher-risk assets like cryptocurrencies. Crypto wasn’t the only asset to suffer, with tech stocks also taking a big hit.
In second place, Ethereum also continues to drop. Yesterday, the coin was valued at $1,500. Today it dropped over 6% to its new price at $1,382, making for a seven-day decline of 30%. To get some idea of how steep its loss is, consider that Ethereum was trading at an all-time high of $2,000 just last weekend.
Cardano’s ADA token is the only cryptocurrency to weather the storm this weekend. ADA hit its all-time high of $1.48 yesterday. But even still, it’s in the red today. It sank 11% overnight to a price of $1.29. That puts it 12% higher than it was last weekend, but it looks like excitement over next month's hard fork is fizzling out.
Polkadot’s DOT and Uniswap’s UNI lost the most value overnight. DOT dropped 7% to a price of $32. Like Bitcoin, it has suffered a 20% drop in price since the last week. UNI is down to $21.95, a loss of almost 9% in the last day and 30% cheaper than it was last Sunday.
XRP sits at a price of $0.42, though it’s only down 2% in the last 24 hours, making for relatively mild overnight losses for XRP holders.
Chainlink, Litecoin, Uniswap and Bitcoin Cash all sunk a staggering thirty percent since last Sunday. Chainlink’s LINK currently sits at $24.52, 3% down since yesterday. Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash both fell 5% last night, with LTC reaching a price of $164 and BCH settling on $464.
There has also been a dearth of news about institutional investment in crypto this week. Tesla set the bar extremely high at the beginning of the month when an SEC filing disclosed the corporation had invested $1.5 billion of its funds into Bitcoin. Similarly, the world's largest asset management company BlackRock, which controls almost $9 trillion in assets under management, announced through its CIO that it is now “dabbling” in Bitcoin.
The big news for conventional investors this month was that Canada had launched two Exchange Traded Funds for investors keen to trade Bitcoin using a traditional auditable financial instrument. The first ETF, which was launched by Purpose Investments, raised almost half a million dollars in assets under management in its first two days. In the last three days, it has only raised $60 million.
Online arts and crafts gift store Etsy spoke out for the bearish on Friday when it announced through its CEO Josh Silverman that it will not accept Bitcoin as payment or invest funds into it this year.
So it’s all red today. But we’re all in it for the technology, right?

Bitcoin ETFs have seen their best day of trading since the start of May, with smaller funds enjoying healthy inflows. Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC), the second-largest spot ETF in the U.S., saw its net assets rise by $188 million in just 24 hours, per data from SoSoValue. Meanwhile, the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB)—in fourth place after the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust—clocked inflows of $155 million, with the two funds between them accounting for more than half of the funds invested...
A divisive proposal to rebrand Bitcoin’s base unit is gaining momentum on social media after Twitter (now X) founder and longtime Bitcoin bull Jack Dorsey shared support on Sunday, racking up more than 1 million views collectively on posts promoting BIP 177. Authored by software developer John Carvalho, the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal, entitled “Redefine Bitcoin's Base Unit,” seeks to do just that—by shifting the way the coin’s quantities are displayed, removing the decimal point and leading z...
Ethereum investment products generated $205 million worth of inflows last week following the asset’s climb toward $2,700—far more than the $1.5 million a week prior—according to a report from crypto asset manager CoinShares on Monday. Overall, investors stuffed $785 million into digital asset investment products, including spot exchange-traded funds, lifting year-to-date inflows to more than $7.4 billion, their highest point of 2025. “Ethereum was the standout performer,” CoinShares Head of Res...
