Bitcoin in freefall today 25/2/2025: BTC drops to $90K

• Bitcoin tests US$90 zone.
• Solana faces sharp devaluation.
• Economic projections indicate challenges.

On Monday, Bitcoin saw another significant drop, closing the day at approximately $90.900, representing a drop of almost 5% in the last 24 hours. Ether, in turn, fell close to $2.450, down almost 10%. The global cryptocurrency market value fell 6,18% over the last day.

At the time of publication, the BTC price was now attempting a recovery at $92.457,00, down 3,5% in the last 24 hours and down 11% on the month.

Why is bitcoin falling today?

This decline can be attributed to both the increasing devaluation of memecoins and technical issues such as token unlocking and adjustments to the coin's inflation, which rose 30% after the implementation of SIMD-96.

This negative movement occurs in a context where the main stock exchanges in the United States are also facing difficulties. After a week of unfavorable results, there was a frustrated attempt at recovery in the stock indexes, with the Nasdaq ending the day with a drop of 1,2% and the SP 500 falling 0,5%.

U.S. futures markets were flat on Monday after failing to recover from significant losses from the previous week. The stagnation came amid recent statements from President Donald Trump about future tariffs.

Investors are eagerly awaiting fresh U.S. consumer confidence data, which will be released at 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday. Last week's figures from the University of Michigan were one of the triggers for Friday's sharp drop.

Alts bleed today

Most altcoins have been in the red over the past 24 hours as BTC dominance grows.

In the top 10, Solana was one of the cryptocurrencies that suffered the most, with a dramatic drop of almost 15% in a single day and an alarming 45% in the last month. Cryptocurrencies LDO, TRUMP, SUI, BONK, WLD and PEPE all fell by more than 15%.
