Bitcoin slides to 10-month low near $74,500 as silver rout hits risk assets

Bitcoin slides to 10-month low near $74,500 as silver rout hits risk assets

Bitcoin dropped to a 10-month low in Asia on Monday, slipping as much as 2.5% to $74,541 and staying under $76,000 by midday. This puts it close to its lowest point since Donald Trump’s return to office, after an almost 11% plunge in January that extended losses for a fourth consecutive month. The crypto slump mirrors a sharp selloff in precious metals, prompting exchanges to tighten trading rules amid wild price swings. CME Group hiked margin requirements—the cash needed to hold futures positions. Tim Waterer at KCM Trade pointed to “forced liquidations and margin increases” triggering a “cascading effect.”

Bitcoin price slides near $75,000 as Donald Trump taps Kevin Warsh for Fed chair

Bitcoin price slides near $75,000 as Donald Trump taps Kevin Warsh for Fed chair

Bitcoin dropped roughly 4% to $75,441 on Monday, continuing a weekend decline that pushed the top cryptocurrency back to prices not seen since mid-2025. Ether plunged close to 10%, hitting $2,191.05. The selloff isn’t confined to crypto. Warsh’s nomination as the next U.S. central bank chief has lifted the dollar and hammered precious metals, deepening the market’s “risk-off” stance.

Bitcoin price breaks below $80,000 after silver rout — and Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway sees American Express nearly catch Apple

Bitcoin price breaks below $80,000 after silver rout — and Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway sees American Express nearly catch Apple

Bitcoin dipped under $80,000 on Saturday, dropping roughly 6.5% to $78,719, pressured by a stronger dollar after Donald Trump named Kevin Warsh to head the Federal Reserve. Ether tumbled nearly 12%, hitting around $2,388. “Sometimes these price adjustments feed on themselves,” said Brian Jacobsen of Annex Wealth Management, cautioning that further selling might be ahead. Bitcoin’s recent drop has dragged it back to levels not seen since April 2025, deepening a decline that has erased over 30% of its value. Factors that previously boosted crypto—like a weaker dollar and gold hitting record highs—have barely made a dent this time. Meanwhile, delays in U.S. crypto “market-structure” rules, which set the regulatory framework for trading, have dampened investor interest.

Bitcoin tumbles under $80,000 as Fed chair shift spooks crypto markets

Bitcoin tumbles under $80,000 as Fed chair shift spooks crypto markets

Bitcoin dropped below $80,000 on Saturday, deepening its recent slide. By 12:48 p.m. ET, the cryptocurrency had fallen 6.53% to $78,719.63. Ether also took a hit, tumbling 11.76% to $2,387.77. Bitcoin slipped back to levels not seen since April 2025, as thin weekend liquidity combined with weak buying interest to deepen the drop. The wider crypto market lost roughly $111 billion in value within 24 hours, according to CoinGecko. Ether and Solana both suffered double-digit declines. Meanwhile, spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds — stock-market vehicles holding the token — continued to experience steady outflows. Investors remained defensive, concentrating flows into metals and cash.

Bitcoin ETFs Just Saw Nearly $1B Pulled in a Day as Bitcoin Slips Below $80,000

U.S.-listed spot bitcoin and ether ETFs experienced outflows approaching $1 billion on Thursday. Investors withdrew $817.9 million from bitcoin funds and $155.6 million from ether funds, according to data. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/u-listed-bitcoin-ether-etfs-093708097.html Spot ETFs, which directly hold bitcoin or ether and trade like regular shares, have played a crucial role linking crypto with traditional investment portfolios. The sharp wave of redemptions is significant, given that much of the market’s narrative around “institutional demand” has relied on consistent ETF purchases.

Bitcoin tumbles under $80,000 as Warsh Fed pick shakes altcoin season hopes

Bitcoin tumbles under $80,000 as Warsh Fed pick shakes altcoin season hopes

Bitcoin slid below $80,000 on Saturday, extending a sharp pullback as traders fretted over tighter U.S. liquidity after former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh was selected as the next Fed chair. The biggest cryptocurrency was down 6.53% at $78,719.63 at 12:48 p.m. ET, and is about a third off October record highs; it hit $81,104 on Friday, the lowest since Nov. 21. Ether fell 11.76% to $2,387.77, as cryptocurrencies lagged rallies in gold and stocks and early hopes for friendlier policy under Donald Trump cooled, Reuters reported. The fresh dip is forcing traders to rethink a popular bet: that money would rotate from bitcoin into smaller tokens in an “altcoin season,” when alternative cryptocurrencies outperform. Instead, a lot of the chatter has shifted to risk control, forced selling and whether the market still has the cash to chase speculative rallies.

  • American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) Up as Jet Fuel Prices Slip Past Forecasts
    July 1, 2026, 10:27 AM EDT. American Airlines shares traded up at $18.07 ahead of the bell, adding to a seven-day run that's pushed the stock up more than 16%. Jet fuel in the U.S. has dropped to $2.86 a gallon as of June 30, down from the $4.00 per gallon figure the airline used in its April outlook for Q2. That drop in one of its main expenses could help earnings, with American using 1.066 billion gallons of fuel in Q1. But at a price-to-earnings ratio of 58.3x, the stock still prices in a lot of fuel sensitivity. Demand for air travel is holding up, even as geopolitics remain tense. The airline is also planning to grow amenities at JFK, keeping a focus on revenue while fuel moves around.
