Dow Jones
25 Feb

Bitcoin slid below $90,000 on Tuesday, hitting a level not seen since November, amid a broader struggle for cryptocurrencies this year so far.

The No. 1 cryptocurrency (BTCUSD) was down 4.5% to $89,791 and hit a session low of $88,268, a level not seen since around mid-November. Bitcoin's price is down 4.5% year to date, following a 120% surge in 2024. The price of Ethereum (ETHUSD) was down over 8% to $2,407, and is down 28% year to date.

Crypto stocks dropped in premarket trading, with MSTR and MARA slumping over 4%.

Cryptocurrencies got a boost after the 2024 election win by President Trump, who made several promises to enthusiasts, such as establishing a bitcoin reserve. But bitcoin is nearly 12% off an all time high of $106,734 reached Dec. 17.

Some have pointed to recent events, such as the $1.4 billion hack of crypto exchange Bybit and a memecoin scandal surrounding Argentina's president Javier Milei, as reasons for continued pressure on bitcoin and other digital assets.
