US EditionBitcoin falls below $80,000, continuing decline as liquidity worries mount
Bitcoin's value dropped over 30%, contributing to a $111 billion market decline amid thin liquidity, ETF outflows, and investor concerns over Federal Reserve tightening.
- On Jan 31, Bitcoin tumbled below the US$80,000 mark during the New York trading session, hitting levels last seen in April 2025 and deepening a drawdown that erased more than 30 per cent of its value.
- Spot ETF outflows and liquidity strains drove much of the pressure, as thin liquidity and limited buying interest, plus concern over Kevin Warsh's selection as next Fed chair, contributed to selling.
- Market-Data providers reported sharp declines as the selloff knocked about US$111 billion off crypto value, with Ether down 11 and Solana over 11%.
- Brian Jacobsen cautioned on liquidity dynamics, saying the Fed's "bloated balance sheet combined with heavy-handed bank regulation" trapped liquidity and `Sometimes these price adjustments feed on themselves`.
- Despite a weaker U.S. dollar in January, crypto lacked a boost and cryptocurrencies struggled since tumbling last year, trailing big rallies in gold and stocks with flows favoring metals and cash as safe havens.
