As per AMBCrypto, October 2025 saw a dramatic downturn in the crypto market, with $19 billion in leveraged positions wiped out on October 10, triggering one of the largest liquidation events in history. Over 1.6 million traders were forced out of the market, and total crypto market capitalization dropped by $888 billion. The sell-off was exacerbated by rising U.S.-China tensions and a 100% tariff on Chinese imports. Despite a 25-basis-point rate cut in late October, the market remained under pressure, with BTC expected to stay range-bound early in the month. Institutional investors, however, continued to accumulate Bitcoin, with U.S. investors spending $3.61 billion on BTC in October.
