The cryptocurrency market lost over $1.3 trillion in value by November 2025. Bitcoin dropped from $126,000 to below $85,000 in a few weeks. 

But how does this compare to the FTX-driven meltdown of 2022, which shook the foundation of the digital asset space?

Market Cap Losses and Price Drawdowns

Market analysts now debate whether this year’s sharp reversal is more damaging than the industry-wide collapse triggered by FTX’s bankruptcy three years ago. 

On paper, this month’s sell-off is massive. In practice, it’s more of a sharp correction than a systemic crisis.

Bitcoin's weekly RSI just hit levels lower than the FTX collapse and the covid crash.

Does that mean the bottom is near?

Between October and November 2025, crypto’s total market cap dropped about 30%, falling from a record $4.2 trillion to under $3 trillion. Bitcoin shed nearly 32% in value, while Ethereum lost over 40%.

However, these numbers don’t match the scale of 2022. 

After FTX’s implosion, the market plunged 73% from its 2021 highs. Bitcoin bottomed out at $15,500, losing over three-quarters of its value. Ethereum fell more than 80% to below $900.

Liquidations and Trading Behavior

Liquidations in 2025 surpassed previous records. In October, over $19 billion in leveraged crypto positions were wiped out in a single day. That’s nearly ten times more than the worst day during the 2022 crash.

Yet, in 2022, traders also faced systemic shocks. The failure of FTX, Celsius, Voyager, and 3AC triggered a cascade of margin calls and frozen funds. 

Although 2025 saw more liquidations, the impact was largely confined to price volatility and didn’t trigger platform-wide insolvencies.

Institutional and Public Market Impact

The FTX collapse shattered trust across the industry. Core Scientific filed for bankruptcy. Crypto lenders vanished. Public companies like MicroStrategy and Coinbase lost over 80% of their stock value.

By contrast, the latest crypto crash has seen no major bankruptcies among listed firms. ETFs did suffer record outflows—over $3.7 billion since October. But they remained functional. 

Companies like MicroStrategy even added to their holdings, signaling confidence rather than crisis.

Sentiment and Macro Backdrop

Both periods triggered extreme fear. In November 2025, sentiment indices dropped to their lowest levels in a year. However, investors weren’t blindsided.

In 2022, the FTX collapse came as a shock. Billions in customer assets vanished. The resulting fear was deeper and more corrosive. Institutional investors froze activity. Regulators launched global crackdowns.

Meanwhile, this month, investors pulled back—but stayed engaged. ETF outflows were orderly. Hedge funds hedged rather than fled. Regulatory conditions, while uncertain, were not crisis-driven.

The Crypto Spring Is Compressed. Window Is Closing…

Yes, the cycle has been difficult…

Even people who've been through multiple cycles start questioning everything.

FTX Collapse Remains the King of All Crypto Bear Markets

The 2025 crypto crash is sharp, but contained. It erased over a trillion dollars in value and triggered record liquidations. However, the market structure held.

The 2022 collapse was deeper, longer, and systemically damaging. It wiped out fragile firms, froze customer assets, and nearly broke institutional trust.

While painful, November 2025 is not worse than the FTX-era collapse. It’s a high-stakes correction—not a foundational crisis.

Monad’s MON token surged more than 35% within 24 hours of launch, defying both a cold airdrop market and a deep November sell-off across digital assets. 

MON traded around $0.035 on Monday, rising from an early range near $0.025 as liquidity spread across major exchanges.

Monad Shines Bright Amid the Bear Market

The move stands out against a market where most airdrops have struggled. Recent industry research shows nearly 90% of airdropped tokens decline within days, driven by thin liquidity, high FDVs, and aggressive selling from recipients. 

MON instead climbed strongly despite more than 10.8 billion tokens entering circulation from airdrop claims and a public token sale.

The token launched on November 24 alongside Monad’s mainnet. Around 76,000 wallets claimed 3.33 billion MON from a 4.73 billion-token airdrop, while 7.5 billion more unlocked from Coinbase’s token sale. 

The airdrop alone was valued near $105 million at early trading prices.

MON’s performance also contrasts with the broader market downturn. Bitcoin fell below $90,000 last week after long-term holders sold more than 815,000 BTC over 30 days. 

Total crypto market value has dropped by over $1 trillion since October, and sentiment sits in extreme fear territory.

However, MON’s trading demand remained resilient. Its price recovered from initial selling pressure and climbed steadily through the afternoon session. 

Most large exchanges listed the token at launch, including Coinbase, Kraken, Bybit, KuCoin, Bitget, Gate.io, and Upbit, supporting deeper liquidity.

Analysts attribute the move to pent-up interest in Monad’s high-performance L1 design and a launch structure that avoided the steep inflation seen in other airdrops this year.

The project delivered one of 2025’s largest distributions but kept real circulating supply focused on early users and public sale participants rather than speculative farmers.

MON’s rally comes as a rare outlier in November’s bear cycle. Its early strength now positions the token as one of the few airdrops this year to post immediate gains instead of sharp declines.

Coinbase said on November 24 that it will open spot trading for Fluid (FLUID) and World Mobile Token (WMTX) on November 25, 2025.

The announcement arrives during one of the harshest drawdowns of 2025, and both tokens saw modest but noticeable intraday recoveries after weeks of pressure.

Coinbase Listing Gives Some Optimism To These Altcoins

The broader market remains deep in negative sentiment. Bitcoin is still hovering in the mid-$80,000s, and major altcoins have continued to bleed throughout November. 

Against that backdrop, even small upside reactions stand out. 

Both FLUID and WMTX posted mild rebounds on November 24 following Coinbase’s announcement. The price movements are far from breakout rallies, but enough to break multi-day downtrends visible on their 24-hour charts.

Spot trading for Fluid (FLUID) and World Mobile Token (WMTX) will go live on 25 November 2025. The opening of our FLUID-USD and WMTX-USD trading pairs will begin on or after 9AM PT, if liquidity conditions are met, in regions where trading is supported. pic.twitter.com/niDFzmMxay

Fluid (FLUID), formerly Instadapp (INST), underpins a DeFi protocol that merges lending, borrowing, and trading into a unified liquidity system. 

The token has been under sustained selling pressure since early November, despite the protocol holding more than $1.4 billion in TVL. 

Fluid highlights: pic.twitter.com/6LFTDlZgp8

— Fluid 🌊 (@0xfluid) October 7, 2025

Meanwhile, World Mobile Token (WMTX) powers the World Mobile Chain, a decentralised telecom infrastructure project built around physical wireless nodes. The project sits in the DePIN sector, which blends blockchain with real-world infrastructure.

WMTX has traded heavily throughout November as risk-off sentiment hit mid-cap altcoins. Its circulating supply is far larger than FLUID’s—around 794 million—making price moves more muted during low-liquidity periods. 

The Coinbase listing announcement helped push WMTX off its $0.096 base and toward $0.102. Even though the uptick is small, it breaks a flat multi-day pattern and introduces early signs of renewed buyer interest.

A Small But Notable Signal In a Bearish Month

Coinbase listings no longer trigger explosive price spikes in most cases, especially during a macro and sentiment-driven downturn. But November has been defined by heavy outflows, declining liquidity, and accelerated long-term holder selling across the market. 

In that context, the reaction from FLUID and WMTX—two tokens tied to infrastructure-driven DeFi and DePIN narratives—offers a rare positive signal.

Both projects remain actively engaged, and traders appear to be monitoring how the listings may impact liquidity once US markets gain direct spot access.

Bitcoin has dropped below $100,000 for the second time in a week, losing 12% in a month. The overall crypto market has lost over $700 billion in the past month, as the Fear and Greed Index has fallen to ‘extreme fear’. 

So, do all of these market indicators signal a bear market? Let’s analyze the technical and historical data. 

Sentiment Signals Are at Bear-Market Levels

The Fear & Greed Index at 10 reflects extreme fear comparable to early 2022 and June 2022, both confirmed bear-market phases.

• Yesterday: 16
  
• Last week: 20
  
• Last month: 28
  

The trend shows accelerating fear, not stabilizing sentiment. Bear runs usually begin with this kind of persistent fear compression.

However, sentiment alone does not confirm a bear market — it only signals capitulation or exhaustion.

Bitcoin Has Broken Its Most Important Bull-Market Support

The 365-day moving average is the long-term structural pivot.

Current situation:

• The 365-day MA is near $102,000.
  
• Bitcoin is trading below it.
  
• The breakdown mirrors December 2021, when price lost the same MA and the bear market started.
  

Historically:

Cycle	MA Lost?	Outcome
2018	Yes	Full bear market
2021	Yes	Full bear market
2025	Yes (now)	Bear-phase risk rising

Failing to reclaim this level quickly often confirms a cycle regime shift. This is one of the strongest technical arguments for a bear-market transition.

On-Chain Cost Basis Shows Early Capitulation, Not Distribution Top

The 6–12 month UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) realized price now sits around $94,600. Bitcoin price currently stands slightly above this level.

This matters because:

• These holders bought during the ETF rally.
  
• They represent “bull-cycle conviction buyers.”
  
• When their position enters loss, market structure weakens.
  

In 2021, Bitcoin price falling below this cohort’s cost basis was one of the final signals before the extended downtrend. This is the first time that cost-basis stress has reappeared since 2022.

This supports the idea of a mid-cycle break, not yet a full macro bear trend.

BULL MARKETS DON’T END LIKE THIS!

I’ve been around for multiple bull/bear markets,

RSI Shows Oversold Conditions, Typical of Mid-Cycle Crashes

Market-wide RSI readings:

• Average crypto RSI: 43.09
  
• BTC RSI is among the lowest in large caps
  
• Only 2.5% of assets are overbought
  
• Most are in oversold territory
  

This resembles May–July 2021, August 2023, and August 2024. Each was a mid-cycle correction, not an end-of-cycle bear. When RSI stays deeply oversold for weeks, bearish momentum confirms.

Right now, RSI shows stress but not yet trend reversal.

MACD Shows Strong Divergence Across the Market

The average normalized MACD is currently 0.02. This indicates weak bullish momentum returning. Also, 58% of the market assets have positive momentum. 

Bitcoin, however, sits deep in the negative zone while altcoins are mixed.

When BTC has negative MACD but the market still has 50%+ positive momentum, the market is in a transition phase rather than a full bear trend.

In full bear markets, 90%+ of assets show negative MACD simultaneously. Right now, that is not the case.

So, Is This a Bear Market?

The crypto market is not in a confirmed bear market — it is in a mid-cycle breakdown with a rising probability of becoming a bear market if two conditions are met.

These are the three conditions that would confirm a bear run:

1. Bitcoin remains below the 365-day MA for 4–6 weeks. This triggered every bear market in 2014, 2018, and 2022.
2. Long-term holders continue heavy distribution. If LTH (long-term holder) selling exceeds 1M BTC over 60 days, the cycle top is in.
3. MACD flips fully negative across the entire market. We are not there yet.

TBH this is the easiest bear market I've ever seen.

Overall, crypto is not yet in a bear market, but the current breakdown puts the market in a high-risk zone where a bear market could form if Bitcoin fails to reclaim long-term support soon.

Aster moved to calm its community after a miscommunication on CoinMarketCap (CMC) led users to believe the project had quietly changed its token unlock schedule. 

The team said the tokenomics remain unchanged and blamed an update on CMC for creating the confusion.

ASTER Token Unlock Confusion

The clarification came hours after Aster community members noticed major upcoming unlocks listed on CMC — including one for December 2025 and two massive releases scheduled for 2035. 

This contradicts earlier statements from the exchange about delaying 2025 unlocks to mid-2026.

A recent update to the tokenomics of ASTER on CoinMarketCap (CMC) has caused confusion within the community. This confusion stemmed from a miscommunication, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. We want to clarify that the ASTER tokenomics remain unchanged.…

— Aster (@Aster_DEX) November 15, 2025

The uncertainty started when updated CMC data showed 200 million ASTER scheduled to unlock on December 15, 2025, followed by 3.86 billion ASTER and 1.6 billion ASTER unlocks in 2035. 

Those figures implied that 75% of the token supply was still locked, with 24% currently circulating.

Aster said the CMC update was meant to correct circulating supply information and clarify how unused ecosystem tokens were being treated. 

The team said the tokens that unlock monthly under the ecosystem allocation have never entered circulation and have remained untouched in a locked address since TGE.

To avoid further confusion, Aster will now transfer these unlocked-but-unused tokens to a public, dedicated unlock address to separate them from operational wallets. 

The team said it has no plans to spend from this address.

Why This Matters for ASTER Holders

The episode highlights a recurring issue in crypto markets. Inconsistent or unclear circulating supply data can influence price action, investor expectations, and perceived dilution risk.

Aster’s circulating supply sits around 2.017 billion ASTER, with 6.06 billion still locked. Market cap is roughly $2.28 billion, while the fully diluted value exceeds $9 billion.

A sudden interpretation that large unlocks were imminent may have fueled speculation about dilution, especially as the project recently saw heavy trading volume and rising volatility.

Despite the confusion, ASTER traded higher on the day, moving around $1.14, up about 8% in 24 hours. The price has fluctuated between $1.02–$1.15, stabilizing after an early-morning sell-off.

Bitcoin fell to $94,000 on Friday, driving concerns of further liquidation and heading towards a yearly low of $76,000. BTC faces growing downside pressure after dropping under its 365-day moving average, a level that has defined the current bull cycle’s support. 

The breakdown has revived concerns of a larger correction, especially as key on-chain cost-basis levels show early signs of stress.

Will Bitcoin Price Drop Below $90,000?

The 365-day moving average, now near $102,000, has acted as Bitcoin’s primary structural floor since late 2023. 

Bitcoin’s failure to reclaim it this week echoes the pattern seen in December 2021, when repeated rejections at this level marked the beginning of the 2022 bear market.

However, the broader market context suggests a mid-cycle reset rather than a full macro top. Liquidity conditions remain unstable, ETF flows turned negative, and long-term holders have been distributing at the fastest pace since early 2024.

Even so, the loss of the 365-day average remains significant. 

Good day to remember this.

— Julio Moreno (@jjcmoreno) November 14, 2025

Historically, remaining below this line for several weekly closes triggers deeper retracements. A sustained breakdown increases the probability of a move toward sub-$90,000.

On-chain data reinforces this risk. The realized price for Bitcoin holders who entered between 6 and 12 months ago is near $94,600. 

This group accumulated heavily during the ETF-driven rally, and their cost basis often acts as a first capitulation zone in bull markets. 

On Friday, Bitcoin briefly traded below this threshold, pushing many of these holders into unrealized losses.

Those who entered Bitcoin 6 to 12 months ago have a cost basis near 94K.

Personally, I do not think the bear cycle is confirmed unless we lose that level. I would rather wait than jump to conclusions. pic.twitter.com/i9a5M0xnMW

— Ki Young Ju (@ki_young_ju) November 14, 2025

Similar breaks occurred in both 2017–2018 and 2021–2022. Each period saw prolonged declines after price slipped below the 6–12 month cost-basis band. 

This trend suggests rising pressure on recent buyers and increases the chance of a deeper reset.

Long-range cycle data provides additional context. Bitcoin’s bull cycles show recurring mid-cycle corrections of 25% to 40%. 

Using the 2025 peak near $125,000, a typical pullback would place Bitcoin between $75,000 and $93,000. These drawdown levels align closely with current technical and on-chain floors.

I see stories about "old whales dumping bitcoin", but the data does not support those stories.

Almost 7 million BTC transacted onchain in 2025. Most BTC came from 2024 transactions. One big 84k BTC 2011 whale. And some 2017-2023 sellers. But that's it, business as usual. pic.twitter.com/w2aHjJ3XmD

— PlanB (@100trillionUSD) November 12, 2025

As a result, analysts see three major zones forming. 

Key Bitcoin Price Levels To Watch

The first support sits at $92,000 to $95,000, matching the 6–12 month cost basis and recent ETF inflow levels. This area is likely the first reaction point. 

However, a stronger correction could push Bitcoin into the $85,000 to $90,000 band, which aligns with a standard 25%–30% mid-cycle decline.

The bearish scenario extends deeper. If ETF outflows accelerate and macro conditions worsen, Bitcoin could retest the $75,000 to $82,000 zone. 

This would represent a 35%–40% drawdown from the cycle high and match previous mid-cycle resets. Drops below $70,000 remain unlikely without a major liquidity shock.

Despite the recent weakness, Bitcoin has not shown a blow-off top or a structural exhaustion pattern. This suggests that current moves form part of a broader consolidation within the bull market, not the start of a new multi-year downtrend.

For now, Bitcoin’s ability to reclaim the 365-day moving average will determine the depth of the correction. 

A quick recovery would ease selling pressure and reduce the likelihood of a move under $90,000. 

Continued rejection, however, raises the probability of a deeper test of the mid-cycle support zones.

Tether is in advanced talks to invest around €1 billion in German humanoid-robotics firm Neura Robotics, according to recent reports. 

The move signals one of the clearest shifts yet in Tether’s strategy as the world’s largest stablecoin issuer pushes beyond USDT and into high-technology sectors.

Tethers Is Betting Big On AI Robotics

The proposed investment would value Neura between €8 billion and €10 billion. 

However, the scale of the talks underscores a broader pattern. Tether has spent the past year diversifying into AI infrastructure, robotics, and real-world technology. 

Tether @Tether_to in talks to lead €1 Billion Funding Round for Neura Robotics

Tether Holdings, the issuer of the world's largest stablecoin $USDT, is reportedly in advanced discussions to lead a €1 billion ($1.07 billion) investment round in Neura Robotics, a German startup…

— MartyParty (@martypartymusic) November 14, 2025

Earlier this year, the company secured access to a 20,000-GPU compute network to build its AI research environment. It also explored major exposure to Neura’s cognitive-robotics platform, which includes humanoid systems designed for industrial and commercial work.

At the same time, Tether has expanded through financial-market partnerships. Its “Hadron by Tether” platform signed agreements with KraneShares and Bitfinex Securities to accelerate tokenized securities adoption. 

The company also deepened its presence in public-sector digital infrastructure through a collaboration with Da Nang city in Vietnam.

These moves come as Tether’s reserves grow. The company reported more than $135 billion in US Treasury exposure and expects record profits this year, giving it unusually large liquidity for private-market deals. 

That financial capacity appears to be funding its push into AI, robotics, and digital-governance technology.

Yet questions remain. Neither Tether nor Neura has confirmed the final size or structure of the investment. 

Analysts note that mass-producing humanoid robots carries technical and supply-chain risk, and the projected valuation depends on Neura scaling production quickly.

Still, Tether’s direction is clear. The firm is moving from a stablecoin-only business to a broader technology investor, tying its future to sectors far beyond digital assets.

Two opposing crypto strategies went head-to-head during EMCD’s latest Crypto Battle, co-hosted with BeInCrypto, where investors debated how to survive and grow in a volatile market.

The live online event, held on October 30, featured Michael Wrubel, a crypto analyst and YouTuber known for high-risk altcoin strategies, and Jan Warmus, EMCD’s Director of Partnerships, representing a more conservative and mining-focused perspective.

Balancing Risk and Reward

In the first case, both experts assessed a viewer’s Bitcoin-heavy portfolio.

Warmus called it “a sensible, beginner-friendly allocation,” stressing that staying with well-known assets and avoiding coins one doesn’t understand prevents major losses. 

Wrubel countered that while Bitcoin and Ethereum are essential, “the big returns come from lower-cap projects” capable of outsized growth.

The Allure and Danger of Memecoins

When asked how to identify the next 10x token, both speakers agreed such predictions are nearly impossible. Warmus compared the odds to gambling: “Recent analysis showed only 0.12% of new coins reach that level—worse odds than roulette.”

Wrubel focused on sentiment, advising traders to “watch the community on X and Telegram” as hype and engagement often signal potential upside.

Bitcoin Mining Profitability

A story about an early miner selling thousands of BTC for a MacBook set the stage for discussion on Bitcoin’s long-term growth.

Wrubel projected Bitcoin could “surpass $1 million” as institutions adopt it as digital gold. Warmus agreed, linking Bitcoin’s rise to expanding institutional adoption and regulatory clarity. 

However, he warned that mining success now “depends on efficiency, energy costs, and scale,” describing modern mining as “an industrial, not a hobbyist business.”

Even the bots know what’s up… pic.twitter.com/VlVs4x38qU

— EMCD (@emcd_io) November 7, 2025

Institutional and Retail Strategies

For companies with $100,000 to allocate, Wrubel advised a simple 80/20 Bitcoin-Ethereum split. Warmus recommended a diversified model:

• 70–80% in Bitcoin, ideally with some funds in mining infrastructure;

• 15–20% in Ethereum;

• Up to 10% for selective altcoins or tokenized assets.

He emphasized compliance and custody as top priorities for institutional entrants.

For small retail investors, Warmus highlighted Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) as the most reliable entry strategy. “If you invested $100 monthly since 2020, it would now be worth about $26,500,” he said. Wrubel, meanwhile, argued that those seeking “life-changing returns” must accept higher risk with small-cap assets.

Banking, Yield, and Risk

The discussion closed with questions on crypto’s equivalent to bank deposits. Wrubel noted staking as an alternative that provides yield. Warmus cautioned users to remember that “there’s no government guarantee” and that yield always depends on the platform’s risk management.

Closing and Audience Interaction

The session ended with a Q&A and a prize draw for five Tangem wallet winners. Viewers engaged actively in chat, sharing stories of gains and losses.

The contrast between Wrubel’s aggressive investing style and Warmus’s disciplined approach underscored the debate’s central theme: crypto success lies in balancing risk, knowledge, and patience.

Bitcoin fell below $100,000 for the second time in a week on Thursday, signalling renewed fragility in a market dominated by forced liquidations and heavy selling from long-term holders. 

At the time of reporting, BTC was trading near $98,400. The drop erased a brief recovery above six figures and pushed sentiment toward caution across major trading desks.

Bitcoin Price Fails to Maintain the $100,000 Psychological Level

The decline triggered a new wave of liquidations. Data shows over $683 million wiped out in the past 24 hours, including $556 million in long positions. Traders were heavily positioned for upside. 

Bitcoin alone accounted for $164.5 million in liquidations over the last four hours, with Ethereum and Solana adding another $145 million combined. 

Also, pressure intensified from long-term holders (LTH), one of Bitcoin’s most stable cohorts. 

According to CryptoQuant data, addresses holding BTC for more than six months sold approximately 815,000 BTC in the last 30 days. This is the highest level of selling since January 2024. 

The chart indicates a sustained distribution across cohorts ranging from 6 months to 7+ years, resulting in a consistent supply overhang at current prices.

This selling wave resembles prior cycle peaks where long-term holders locked in profits after multi-month rallies. The pattern is visible on the charts. 

Each spike in LTH spending corresponds with local tops and periods of prolonged consolidation. The current climb to 815,000 BTC spent mirrors the heavy distribution seen at the 2021 and early-2024 highs.

Market analysts note that long-term holder behaviour matters more than short-term trading noise. When seasoned wallets send coins back into circulation, liquidity deepens, but price support weakens. 

It's another one of those days:

All asset classes are trading sharply lower today.

And, attempted intra-day relief rallies are being sold into new lows; a textbook "emotional" correction.

Combined with the largest liquidation cluster of the week, the market absorbed both forced selling and voluntary selling at once—magnifying the drawdown.

The next key test sits at the $98,000–$100,000 range, where buyers must step in to prevent a deeper move toward mid-cycle support levels.
