Cryptocurrency market: Bitcoin falling records and hopes for a reversal
After a prolonged decline, the key currency Bitcoin has shown some recovery, crossing the $64,000 threshold. But the overall market condition remains under pressure, reflecting a wide range of sentiments among investors.
According to according to CoinCodex platform as of February 25, 2026, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization reached $2.23 trillion, with Bitcoin trading around $64,900 after a day’s 2.84% rise, and Ethereum at around $1,888 (+3.44%).
Nevertheless, the picture remains mixed: Bitcoin lost about 19% in February, its worst performance since June 2022, and the decline continues for the fifth consecutive month.
Pressure factors include the uncertainty of US tariff policy and the current situation in traditional financial markets, which are also showing volatility and uncertainty. This increases investor uncertainty and reduces appetite for risk assets.
At the same time, experts note that despite short-term corrections, the structure of the cryptocurrency market is still supported by large capital flows and the interest of institutional players. This leaves hopes for a possible reversal of trends in the coming weeks and a transition to sustainable growth.
