Bitcoin's volatility continues to be a major talking point, with the cryptocurrency experiencing significant price fluctuations. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $70,148.16, down 1.14% from its previous close. The recent drop has wiped out expectations of a $100 million fully diluted valuation, with some analysts predicting a potential drop to $50,000.
Several factors are contributing to this volatility:
- *Institutional Selling*: Whales, or large Bitcoin holders, have been selling their holdings, with some estimates suggesting they've sold around $15 billion worth of Bitcoin in 2025.
- *Regulatory Uncertainty*: The lack of clear regulations and potential changes in policy are causing uncertainty among investors.
- *Market Liquidity*: Thin liquidity is making it easier for large trades to impact prices, leading to sharper price movements.
- *Correlation with Tech Stocks*: Bitcoin's correlation with tech stocks is increasing, making it more sensitive to macroeconomic developments.
