Bitcoin Price Plummets 20%, Stablecoin Market Contracts Amidst Economic Uncertainty

The cryptocurrency market witnessed dramatic fluctuations in November 2025, with Bitcoin experiencing a significant 20% decline from its peak price of $110,000 to around $81,000. This drop was accompanied by a substantial $2 billion contraction in the stablecoin market cap. 20% declines in the cryptocurrency market are often linked to shifts in investor behavior as institutions play a more prominent role. Notably, Bitcoin’s decline triggered widespread liquidations among traders, estimated at $19 billion within 24 hours, further highlighting the volatile nature of the market.
