Bitcoin's $1.2 Trillion Market Slump: A Crypto Crash to Remember

Bitcoin's market value has plummeted by over $1.2 trillion in just eight months, wiping out nearly half of its record high of $126,198 reached in October 2025.

The decline was driven by a combination of factors, including geopolitical tensions, ETF outflows, and corporate buying concerns.

Rising competition from the AI investment boom and uncertainty around inflation and interest rates also added to the pressure on crypto markets.
