Bitcoin closes 2025 with a decline of 6% and far from the records of October:
Bitcoin, the most well-known and traded cryptocurrency in the market, ends 2025 with a decline of 6% and above $88,000, far from the all-time high reached during the session on October 6 at $126,251.
With just a few hours left until the last session of the year concludes, the cryptocurrency was trading at 4:15 PM (3:15 PM GMT) at $88,050.29 with a decline of 0.15%, according to Bloomberg data collected by EFE.
The result of the fiscal year that ends today is far from the good performance that Bitcoin recorded in 2024, when it surged more than 120%, and also from that of 2023, a year in which the appreciation reached 157%.
Furthermore, since the aforementioned highs reached in October, the cryptocurrency has lost 30.25%.
During the year, which started at $94,771, Bitcoin has moved between the lows it hit in April at $74,424.95 and the all-time highs of October ($126,251), affected by trade tensions and U.S. monetary policy.
Experts explain that the decline of Bitcoin during the year is due to several factors, especially in recent months, to the outflow of a large volume of millions of dollars from the exchange-traded funds (ETFs) linked to this asset.
Movements by the Federal Reserve of the United States (central bank), the tariff war, the weakness of the dollar, and the exit of investors from higher-risk assets have also impacted its quotation.
