This downturn reflects a broader market decline affecting a wide range of risk-off assets. Unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/crypto-crash-19-5-billion-wiped-out-in-record-breaking-liquidation-event\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">the October 2025 flash crash<\/a> that saw most cryptocurrencies plummet simultaneously, the recent underperformance of BTC, ETH, and DOGE stems from a combination of factors, including macroeconomic pressures, institutional demand, and global market stress.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Why Bitcoin, Ethereum, And Dogecoin Prices Are Crashing Today<\/h2>\n<p>CoinMarketCap\u2019s data shows that the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/crypto-downturn-slams-galaxy-digital-with-241-million-annual-loss\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">broader crypto market is in a downtrend<\/a>, with the majority of digital assets now in the red. Today, the market has <a href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">fallen<\/a> by more than 6.2%, bringing its valuation to $2.43 trillion. The crash was front-run by Bitcoin, which fell roughly 7% at the time of writing, before other major assets followed.<\/p>\n<p>Reports <a href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/currencies\/bitcoin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">reveal<\/a> that a macro-driven selloff across global risk assets primarily drove Bitcoin\u2019s price crash today. The cryptocurrency <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bitqua\/status\/2017586068300960201?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">declined<\/a> in tandem with major equity indices such as the Nasdaq-100 ETF (QQQ) and gold, indicating a liquidity- or rate-driven market collapse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Bitcoin has lost more than 42% of its value since its all-time high above $126,000 in October 2025. After reaching its peak, the cryptocurrency has been in a prolonged slump, attempting to break through key resistance but ultimately failing to recover past highs. Its decline toward $71,000 has also contributed to the performance of other major cryptocurrencies, like Ethereum and Dogecoin, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-ethereum-trading-sideways\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">tend to track BTC\u2019s movements<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As of writing, CMC data indicate that Ethereum has declined by more than 7% over the past 24 hours to nearly $2,100. Reports attribute this decline primarily to broader market risk-off sentiment and the fall in BTC\u2019s price. Dogecoin has faced similar pressures, falling by more tha 6% to $0.1 today. While BTC\u2019s decline added to volatility, DOGE has <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/dogecoin-50-crash-q4-red\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">been in a downtrend since Q4 2025<\/a>, suggesting that persistent bearish sentiment and extreme fear are also key factors driving its <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bitcoin-dogecoin-xrp-price\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">choppy price action<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In addition to falling prices, the market capitalizations of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin have also plummeted by more than 5%. Bitcoin\u2019s value now stands at $1.43 trillion, Ethereum at $257.93 billion, and DOGE at $17.22 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Macroeconomic And Institutional Factors<\/h2>\n<p>Macroeconomic pressures and political concerns in the US have also played a significant role in the recent decline in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin. In early February 2026, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/heres-why-bitcoin-fall-below-80000-could-be-a-deep-pit-analyst\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">BTC broke below $80,000<\/a> for the first time since 2025, triggering a wave of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin-crash-70k-liquidations-bmic-presale-quantum-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">liquidations<\/a> across leveraged positions in a single session.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This sharp move coincided with mounting uncertainty about US fiscal policy and speculation over the nomination of Republican <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/trump-nominates-crypto-kevin-warsh-for-fed-chair\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve (FED) chair<\/a>.
