As per Bijié Wǎng, Bitcoin's price dropped 27% from its October high in early 2025, triggering a wave of margin calls, liquidations, and a broad sell-off in crypto-related stocks. The crash was attributed to macroeconomic uncertainty, central bank policy ambiguity, and the normalization of leveraged trading. Over $10 billion in positions were liquidated within 24 hours, with 70% being long positions, following the expiration of over 41,000 contracts, including Bitcoin and 228,000 ETH options. Companies like MicroStrategy and BitMine Immersion Technologies saw significant valuation declines as Bitcoin’s drop spilled over into traditional markets. Analysts warn that the growing interconnectedness between crypto and traditional finance could turn Bitcoin into a systemic risk if regulatory gaps in derivatives markets remain unaddressed.
