  • Bitcoin Plunges Below $80,000 Amid Geopolitical Tensions and Market Turmoil
    February 1, 2026, 11:48 PM EST. Bitcoin (BTC) slumped below $80,000, nearly hitting $77,000 on Saturday, wiping out around $800 billion in market value from its October peak above $126,000. The fall marked bitcoin's exit from the global top 10 assets, overtaken by Tesla and Saudi Aramco. Traders cite geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran as a key trigger, prompting investors to liquidate crypto for cash as a 'flight to safety.' The weekend's thin liquidity amplified the selloff, rooted in lingering market fragility following an October crash linked to Binance. Traditional safe havens gold and silver also saw sharp declines, underscoring a broader de-risking amid a strengthening U.S. dollar fueled by Federal Reserve leadership changes.
