While the market recovered from the sharp sell off that peaked on February 6, prices remain far below the highs recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recent downturn saw Bitcoin fall to 60,000 dollars for the first time in more than a year, while many altcoins dropped between 20 and 30 percent in a single day. Bitcoin then staged a strong rebound, climbing 12,000 dollars to briefly touch 72,000 dollars. However, selling pressure soon returned, pushing the asset back toward 68,000 dollars over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For several days, Bitcoin traded between 68,000 and 72,000 dollars before another rejection near the upper boundary sent it down to 66,000 dollars on Wednesday and 65,000 dollars on Thursday. Following the release of softer than expected United States inflation data, Bitcoin briefly rose to 67,600 dollars but quickly pulled back to around 66,000 dollars, leaving it close to where it stood a week ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Altcoins showed mixed performance. XRP, BNB, HYPE, and SOL posted notable losses, while BCH, XMR, and HBAR gained as much as 9.5 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Market capitalization stands at 2.37 trillion dollars, with 24 hour trading volume at 110 billion dollars. Bitcoin trades near 67,200 dollars, Ethereum around 1,970 dollars, and XRP near 1.38 dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Developments This Week<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Binance converted its entire 1 billion dollar SAFU fund into Bitcoin, acquiring approximately 15,000 BTC over several weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BlackRock expanded access to its USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund through Uniswap in partnership with Securitize, prompting a sharp rally in UNI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussions between banks and the crypto industry over stablecoin yields continued without a final agreement as regulatory talks approached a key deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Robinhood launched the public testnet of Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum Layer 2 network built on Arbitrum to support tokenized assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mining firm Cango sold more than 300 million dollars worth of Bitcoin as profitability pressures increased amid declining network difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Author Robert Kiyosaki stated that he considers Bitcoin a stronger investment than gold due to its capped supply, although he prefers holding both assets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin moved largely within a range over the past week, with each breakout attempt quickly losing momentum.
