Digital currencies recorded mass declines this morning, Tuesday, February 25, as the most expensive digital currency in the world (Bitcoin) is trading at its lowest levels since November of last year, below $ 90,000, which led to a strong wave of selling in the cryptocurrency market and the exit of nearly $ 230 billion in the last 24 hours.
The declines in the cryptocurrency market coincided with the rise in general uncertainty in the financial markets with threats of tariffs in addition to the rise in US inflation fears. Market concerns about the safety of trading platforms, especially after Bybit was hacked and about $ 1.5 billion was stolen, also increased the state of uncertainty associated with the cryptocurrency markets.
