Desplome histórico del bitcóin: ¿Qué está pasando?
El bitcóin, la criptomoneda más comercializada del mundo, ha continuado su desplome de meses este jueves cayendo a un mínimo de 62.898 dólares, su precio más bajo en más de un año y más de la mitad de su valor desde octubre de 2025, cuando alcanzó el máximo histórico de 126.198 dólares. Las razones de su caída son diversas y no solo preocupa a los inversionistas de la criptomoneda.
TL;DR
- Bitcoin reached a year-low of $62,898, more than halving its value since its October 2025 peak of $126,198.
- The decline is influenced by a general weakening of financial markets, geopolitical tensions, and potential US government shutdowns.
- Large holders and specialized funds selling positions are increasing supply and accelerating the downward trend.
- High interest rates make traditional financial instruments more attractive than cryptocurrencies.
- The drop in Bitcoin has also impacted other cryptocurrencies ('altcoins'), causing significant losses.
- Outflows from Bitcoin-linked ETFs can increase selling pressure on the cryptocurrency.
- Experts predict continued volatility and potential further drops if past bearish cycle patterns repeat.
- Stifel forecasts Bitcoin could fall to $38,000, a 70% drop from its all-time high.
