Bitcoin prices have sharply declined, briefly falling below $70,000 during trading and hitting a new low since November 2024. As of the latest update, prices have slightly rebounded to around $71,000. Over the past week, Bitcoin has fallen approximately 20%, reigniting intense discussions in the market about the future of the crypto cycle. As risk sentiment heats up, capital is withdrawing from high-volatility assets, and the correlation between the crypto market and tech stocks has re-emerged.
This correction not only impacts digital assets themselves but also quickly spreads to crypto-related companies in the US stock market. Strategy, known for its Bitcoin treasury strategy, saw its stock price drop more than 5% in a single day, with a cumulative decline of over 23% in the past month. COIN’s stock price fell over 7%, and Circle and Robinhood also experienced varying degrees of pullback, indicating a reassessment of valuations for crypto-related businesses in the capital markets.
Nansen analyst Aurelie Barthere pointed out that crypto assets and the US stock market are once again showing a positive correlation. When macro risks rise, both tend to come under pressure simultaneously. This linkage makes Bitcoin no longer just an “independent asset” but more like part of the risk market.
The mining sector is also under significant pressure. Several Bitcoin mining companies saw their stock prices drop in the double digits in a single day. With rising mining costs and increased competition for hash power, many miners have shifted some resources to provide computing power for the artificial intelligence industry. However, in the short term, they still find it difficult to fully offset the impact of falling coin prices.
Market participants believe that this round of correction is more like the result of multiple factors converging: tightening macro liquidity, amplified volatility in tech stocks, and some profit-taking by investors. The future trend will still depend on whether Bitcoin can stabilize at key support levels and whether overall risk sentiment improves. Amid growing uncertainty, investors’ patience and risk management capabilities are facing a new test in the crypto market.

Ledger Executive: If the US Bans Stablecoin Yields, Other Countries May Fill the Regulatory Gap
Ledger Asia-Pacific Head Shibayama stated that if the US implements a stablecoin yield ban, international discussions will increase. Countries like Australia have already provided regulatory exemptions, and currently most stablecoins do not offer yields to users.
