 Bitcoin experienced a notable decline in early 2025, dropping from above USD 109,000 in January to below USD 77,000 in March before recovering to a certain extent. The cryptocurrency reacted to several key factors, rooted in macroeconomic policies and market sentiment.

A primary catalyst was escalating US trade tensions under President Donald Trump. The continuous change in policy affected sentiment and risk appetite. These measures triggered sell-offs in US equities, which spilled over into crypto markets. Bitcoin, increasingly correlated with risk-on assets, felt the ripple effect as investor confidence waned.

The market also reacted to the changing policy landscape. President Trump signed an executive order establishing a national Bitcoin reserve. Hailed as a potential demand booster, the order disappointed markets when no immediate purchases followed.

Security concerns have also played a role in the market’s recent performance, with a significant hack on crypto exchange Bybit by the North Korean Lazarus group dampening investor confidence.
